Well, barely a day and you've already ruined my patch series.  Now instead of a
clean design where the crypto_shash API is built on top of the normal library
API (sha256_update() etc.), there's now a special low-level API
"sha256_choose_blocks()" just for shash that it's built on top of instead, for
no good reason.  You're also still pushing your broken BLOCK_HASH_UPDATE_BLOCKS
macro that doesn't work with size_t, and putting my name on your broken code
that uses it.

And yes, sorry about the allmodconfig build error.  It just means that the
generic code needs to be split into its own module, like how curve25519 works.
I'll post a new version with that fixed and your gratuitous changes undone.
