The existing digest user interface is inadequate for support asynchronous
operations. For one it doesn't return a value to indicate success or
failure, nor does it take a per-operation descriptor which is essential
for the issuing of requests while other requests are still outstanding.
This patch is the first in a series of steps to remodel the interface
for asynchronous operations.
For the ease of transition the new interface will be known as "hash"
while the old one will remain as "digest".
This patch also changes sg_next to allow chaining.

This patch adds two block cipher algorithms, CBC and ECB. These
are implemented as templates on top of existing single-block cipher
algorithms. They invoke the single-block cipher through the new
encrypt_one/decrypt_one interface.
This also optimises the in-place encryption and decryption to remove
the cost of an IV copy each round.

This patch adds the new type of block ciphers. Unlike current cipher
algorithms which operate on a single block at a time, block ciphers
operate on an arbitrarily long linear area of data. As it is block-based,
it will skip any data remaining at the end which cannot form a block.
The block cipher has one major difference when compared to the existing
block cipher implementation. The sg walking is now performed by the
algorithm rather than the cipher mid-layer. This is needed for drivers
that directly support sg lists. It also improves performance for all
algorithms as it reduces the total number of indirect calls by one.
In future the existing cipher algorithm will be converted to only have
a single-block interface. This will be done after all existing users
have switched over to the new block cipher type.

This patch prepares the scatterwalk code for use by the new block cipher
type.
Firstly it halves the size of scatter_walk on 32-bit platforms. This
is important as we allocate at least two of these objects on the stack
for each block cipher operation.
It also exports the symbols since the block cipher code can be built as
a module.
Finally there is a hack in scatterwalk_unmap that relies on progress
being made. Unfortunately, for hardware crypto we can't guarantee
progress to be made since the hardware can fail.
So this also gets rid of the hack by not advancing the address returned
by scatterwalk_map.

This patch adds two new operations for the simple cipher that encrypts or
decrypts a single block at a time. This will be the main interface after
the existing block operations have moved over to the new block ciphers.
It also adds the crypto_cipher type which is currently only used on the
new operations but will be extended to setkey as well once existing users
have been converted to use block ciphers where applicable.

This patch adds the crypto_type structure which will be used for all new
crypto algorithm types, beginning with block ciphers.
The primary purpose of this abstraction is to allow different crypto_type
objects for crypto algorithms of the same type, in particular, there will
be a different crypto_type objects for asynchronous algorithms.

This patch adds the helpers crypto_get_attr_alg and crypto_alloc_instance
which can be used by simple one-argument templates like hmac to process
input parameters and allocate instances.

Spawns lock a specific crypto algorithm in place. They can then be used
with crypto_spawn_tfm to allocate a tfm for that algorithm. When the base
algorithm of a spawn is deregistered, all its spawns will be automatically
removed.

The crypto API is made up of the part facing users such as IPsec and the
low-level part which is used by cryptographic entities such as algorithms.
This patch splits out the latter so that the two APIs are more clearly
delineated. As a bonus the low-level API can now be modularised if all
algorithms are built as modules.
