2825982d9d [CRYPTO] api: Added event notification
This patch adds a notifier chain for algorithm/template registration events.
This will be used to register compound algorithms such as cbc(aes).  In
future this will also be passed onto user-space through netlink.

cce9e06d10 [CRYPTO] api: Split out low-level API
The crypto API is made up of the part facing users such as IPsec and the
low-level part which is used by cryptographic entities such as algorithms.
This patch splits out the latter so that the two APIs are more clearly
delineated.  As a bonus the low-level API can now be modularised if all
algorithms are built as modules.
