Hi,

I am trying to write an ABLKCIPHER algorithm for my hardware crypto 
engine and I have a few questions:

1) In struct ablkcipher_alg, what do these fields do? I see some 
implementations use them and some not. Do I need to implement them?
    int (*givencrypt)(struct skcipher_givcrypt_request *req);
    int (*givdecrypt)(struct skcipher_givcrypt_request *req);
    const char *geniv;

2) What is a CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_GIVCIPHER? What does it do and how does it 
interface to other algorithms?

In case, it is important; we are using linux-2.6.28 but we will soon 
move to linux-2.6.31. The ultimate goal is to accelerate 
authenc(cbc(aes),hmac(sha1)) and I am currently implementing the simpler 
algorithms as a learning exercise.

Regards,
Dimitris
