> crypto: af_alg - User-space interface for Crypto API
>
> This patch creates the backbone of the user-space interface for
> the Crypto API, through a new socket family AF_ALG.
>
> Each session corresponds to one or more connections obtained from
> that socket. The number depends on the number of inputs/outputs
> of that particular type of operation. For most types there will
> be a s ingle connection/file descriptor that is used for both input
> and output. AEAD is one of the few that require two inputs.
>
> Each algorithm type will provide its own implementation that plugs
> into af_alg. They're keyed using a string such as "skcipher" or
> "hash".
>
> IOW this patch only contains the boring bits that is required
> to hold everything together.
>
> Thakns to Miloslav Trmac for reviewing this and contributing
> fixes and improvements.
