This patch adds the mid-level interface for asynchronous block ciphers.
It also includes a generic queueing mechanism that can be used by other
asynchronous crypto operations in future.

This patch passes the type/mask along when constructing instances of
templates. This is in preparation for templates that may support
multiple types of instances depending on what is requested. For example,
the planned software async crypto driver will use this construct.
For the moment this allows us to check whether the instance constructed
is of the correct type and avoid returning success if the type does not
match.

This patch adds support for multiple frontend types for each backend
algorithm by passing the type and mask through to the backend type
init function.

A lot of cypher modes need multiplications in GF(2^128). LRW, ABL, GCM...
I use functions from this library in my LRW implementation and I will
also use them in my ABL (Arbitrary Block Length, an unencumbered (correct
me if I am wrong, wide block cipher mode).
Elements of GF(2^128) must be presented as u128 *, it encourages automatic
and proper alignment.
The library contains support for two different representations of GF(2^128),
see the comment in gf128mul.h. There different levels of optimization
(memory/speed tradeoff).
The code is based on work by Dr Brian Gladman. Notable changes:
- deletion of two optimization modes
- change from u32 to u64 for faster handling on 64bit machines
- support for 'bbe' representation in addition to the, already implemented,
'lle' representation.
- move 'inline void' functions from header to 'static void' in the
source file
- update to use the linux coding style conventions

128bit is a common blocksize in linux kernel cryptography, so it helps to
centralize some common operations.
The code, while mostly trivial, is based on a header file mode_hdr.h in
http://fp.gladman.plus.com/AES/modes.vc8.19-06-06.zip
The original copyright (and GPL statement) of the original author,

The existing digest user interface is inadequate for support asynchronous
operations. For one it doesn't return a value to indicate success or
failure, nor does it take a per-operation descriptor which is essential
for the issuing of requests while other requests are still outstanding.
This patch is the first in a series of steps to remodel the interface
for asynchronous operations.
For the ease of transition the new interface will be known as "hash"
while the old one will remain as "digest".
This patch also changes sg_next to allow chaining.

This patch adds two block cipher algorithms, CBC and ECB. These
are implemented as templates on top of existing single-block cipher
algorithms. They invoke the single-block cipher through the new
encrypt_one/decrypt_one interface.
This also optimises the in-place encryption and decryption to remove
the cost of an IV copy each round.

This patch adds the new type of block ciphers. Unlike current cipher
algorithms which operate on a single block at a time, block ciphers
operate on an arbitrarily long linear area of data. As it is block-based,
it will skip any data remaining at the end which cannot form a block.
The block cipher has one major difference when compared to the existing
block cipher implementation. The sg walking is now performed by the
algorithm rather than the cipher mid-layer. This is needed for drivers
that directly support sg lists. It also improves performance for all
algorithms as it reduces the total number of indirect calls by one.
In future the existing cipher algorithm will be converted to only have
a single-block interface. This will be done after all existing users
have switched over to the new block cipher type.

This patch prepares the scatterwalk code for use by the new block cipher
type.
Firstly it halves the size of scatter_walk on 32-bit platforms. This
is important as we allocate at least two of these objects on the stack
for each block cipher operation.
It also exports the symbols since the block cipher code can be built as
a module.
Finally there is a hack in scatterwalk_unmap that relies on progress
being made. Unfortunately, for hardware crypto we can't guarantee
progress to be made since the hardware can fail.
So this also gets rid of the hack by not advancing the address returned
by scatterwalk_map.

This patch adds two new operations for the simple cipher that encrypts or
decrypts a single block at a time. This will be the main interface after
the existing block operations have moved over to the new block ciphers.
It also adds the crypto_cipher type which is currently only used on the
new operations but will be extended to setkey as well once existing users
have been converted to use block ciphers where applicable.

This patch adds the crypto_type structure which will be used for all new
crypto algorithm types, beginning with block ciphers.
The primary purpose of this abstraction is to allow different crypto_type
objects for crypto algorithms of the same type, in particular, there will
be a different crypto_type objects for asynchronous algorithms.

This patch adds the helpers crypto_get_attr_alg and crypto_alloc_instance
which can be used by simple one-argument templates like hmac to process
input parameters and allocate instances.

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.

Spawns lock a specific crypto algorithm in place. They can then be used
with crypto_spawn_tfm to allocate a tfm for that algorithm. When the base
algorithm of a spawn is deregistered, all its spawns will be automatically
removed.

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.

This patch splits up the twofish crypto routine into a common part ( key
setup ) which will be uses by all twofish crypto modules ( generic-c , i586
assembler and x86_64 assembler ) and generic-c part. It also creates a new
header file which will be used by all 3 modules.
This eliminates all code duplication.
Correctness was verified with the tcrypt module and automated test scripts.
