PCLMULQDQ is used to accelerate the most time-consuming part of GHASH,
carry-less multiplication. More information about PCLMULQDQ can be
found at:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/carry-less-multiplication-and-its-usage-for-computing-the-gcm-mode/
Because PCLMULQDQ changes XMM state, its usage must be enclosed with
kernel_fpu_begin/end, which can be used only in process context, the
acceleration is implemented as crypto_ahash. That is, request in soft
IRQ context will be defered to the cryptd kernel thread.

cryptd_alloc_ahash() will allocate a cryptd-ed ahash for specified
algorithm name. The new allocated one is guaranteed to be cryptd-ed
ahash, so the shash underlying can be gotten via cryptd_ahash_child().

This patch adds the finup/export/import functions to the cryptd
ahash implementation. We simply invoke the underlying shash
operations.

If cryptd_alloc_instance() fails, the return value is uninitialized.
This patch fixes this by setting the return value.

This patch changes cryptd to use the new style ahash type. In
particular, the instance is enlarged to encapsulate the new
ahash_alg structure.

This patch changes cryptd to use the template->create function
instead of alloc in anticipation for the switch to new style

Use crypto_alloc_base() instead of crypto_alloc_ablkcipher() to
allocate underlying tfm in cryptd_alloc_ablkcipher. Because
crypto_alloc_ablkcipher() prefer GENIV encapsulated crypto instead of
raw one, while cryptd_alloc_ablkcipher needed the raw one.

cryptd_alloc_ablkcipher() will allocate a cryptd-ed ablkcipher for

cryptd-ed ablkcipher, so the blkcipher underlying can be gotten via

All new crypto interfaces should go into individual files as much
as possible in order to ensure that crypto.h does not collapse under
its own weight.
This patch moves the ahash code into crypto/hash.h and crypto/internal/hash.h
respectively.

The EINPROGRESS notifications should be done just like the final
call-backs, i.e., with BH off. This patch fixes the call in cryptd
since previously it was called with BH on.

If the underlying algorithm specifies a specific geniv algorithm then
we should use it for the cryptd version as well.

Up until now we have ablkcipher algorithms have been identified as
type BLKCIPHER with the ASYNC bit set. This is suboptimal because
ablkcipher refers to two things. On the one hand it refers to the
top-level ablkcipher interface with requests. On the other hand it
refers to and algorithm type underneath.
As it is you cannot request a synchronous block cipher algorithm
with the ablkcipher interface on top. This is a problem because
we want to be able to eventually phase out the blkcipher top-level
interface.
This patch fixes this by making ABLKCIPHER its own type, just as
we have distinct types for HASH and DIGEST. The type it associated
with the algorithm implementation only.
Which top-level interface is used for synchronous block ciphers is
then determined by the mask that's used. If it's a specific mask
then the old blkcipher interface is given, otherwise we go with the
new ablkcipher interface.

Since not everyone needs a queue pointer and those who need it can
always get it from the context anyway the queue pointer in the
