Hi!

I've just started looking at this. Patch #1 modifies linux/virtio_crypto.h
which if I compare with the (almost) latest linux master is different. Thus
I would expect a corresponding kernel patch set too, but I haven't received
one, nor did I find a reference in the cover letter.

I think if I want to test the new features I need the kernel counter-part
too, or?

Could you point me to the kernel counterpart?

Regards,
Halil
