The "unsigned long w" seems unneeded (in nettle_block16, it could also be retired; it's from a time when Nettle didn't use uint64_t).
Ok, I'll drop both usecases.
Maybe one could do without this union and simply use uint64_t, but then one would need some casts to (uint8_t *). So a union may be clearer.
I preferred union because of symmetry with CMAC-128 code.
