Thanks for the suggestion, the init() is replaced with
<algorithm name>_mod_init ()
and fini () is replaced with <algorithm name>_mod_fini.

We need to allow setkey on digest_null if it is to be used directly by
authenc instead of through hmac.

This patch adds a null blkcipher algorithm called ecb(cipher_null) for
backwards compatibility. Previously the null algorithm when used by
IPsec copied the data byte by byte. This new algorithm optimises that
to a straight memcpy which lets us better measure inherent overheads in
our IPsec code.

Not architecture specific code should not #include <asm/scatterlist.h>.
This patch therefore either replaces them with
#include <linux/scatterlist.h> or simply removes them if they were
unused.

Now that the tfm is passed directly to setkey instead of the ctx, we no
longer need to pass the &tfm->crt_flags pointer.
This patch also gets rid of a few unnecessary checks on the key length
for ciphers as the cipher layer guarantees that the key length is within
the bounds specified by the algorithm.
Rather than testing dia_setkey every time, this patch does it only once
during crypto_alloc_tfm. The redundant check from crypto_digest_setkey
is also removed.

Up until now algorithms have been happy to get a context pointer since
they know everything that's in the tfm already (e.g., alignment, block
size).
However, once we have parameterised algorithms, such information will
be specific to each tfm. So the algorithm API needs to be changed to
pass the tfm structure instead of the context pointer.
This patch is basically a text substitution. The only tricky bit is
the assembly routines that need to get the context pointer offset
through asm-offsets.h.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
