The "half md4" transform should not be used by any new code. And
fortunately, it's only used now by ext4. Since ext4 supports several
hashing methods, at some point it might be desirable to move to
something like SipHash. As an intermediate step, remove half md4 from
cryptohash.h and lib, and make it just a local function in ext4's
hash.c. There's precedent for doing this; the other function ext can use
for its hashes -- TEA -- is also implemented in the same place. Also, by
being a local function, this might allow gcc to perform some additional
optimizations.

We only need EXPORT_SYMBOL, so compiler.h and export.h suffice. This
means linux/types.h is no longer implicitly included, so add an include of
uapi/linux/types.h to linux/cryptohash.h for __u32. Other users of
cryptohash.h cannot be affected, since they must already have been
including uapi/linux/types.h in order for gcc not to complain about
unknown types.

For ChromiumOS, we use SHA-1 to verify the integrity of the root
filesystem. The speed of the kernel sha-1 implementation has a major
impact on our boot performance.
To improve boot performance, we investigated using the heavily optimized
sha-1 implementation used in git. With the git sha-1 implementation, we
see a 11.7% improvement in boot time.
10 reboots, remove slowest/fastest.
Before:
Mean: 6.58 seconds Stdev: 0.14
After (with git sha-1, this patch):
Mean: 5.89 seconds Stdev: 0.07
The other cool thing about the git SHA-1 implementation is that it only
needs 64 bytes of stack for the workspace while the original kernel
implementation needed 320 bytes.

Define (missing) hash message size for SHA1.
Define hashing size constants specific to TCP cookies.
Add new function: tcp_cookie_generator().
Maintain global secret values for tcp_cookie_generator().
This is a significantly revised implementation of earlier (15-year-old)
Photuris [RFC-2522] code for the KA9Q cooperative multitasking platform.
Linux RCU technique appears to be well-suited to this application, though
neither of the circular queue items are freed.
These functions will also be used in subsequent patches that implement
additional features.

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!
