Yes, for x86. I think ARM has them too.

You're not. TinyCrypt was designed for Intel MCUs. Those don't have SSE 
registers, so they can't have AES-NI. So no one felt the need to add support.

Could be as simple as a pull request, though. The maintainer sits a couple of 
rows from me, if necessary.
