5d26a105b5 crypto: prefix module autoloading with "crypto-"
This prefixes all crypto module loading with "crypto-" so we never run
the risk of exposing module auto-loading to userspace via a crypto API,
as demonstrated by Mathias Krause:

d366db605c crypto: arc4 - improve performance by using u32 for ctx and variables
This patch changes u8 in struct arc4_ctx and variables to u32 (as AMD seems
to have problem with u8 array). Below are tcrypt results of old 1-byte block
cipher versus ecb(arc4) with u8 and ecb(arc4) with u32.

tcrypt results, x86-64 (speed ratios: new-u32/old, new-u8/old):

                  u32    u8
AMD Phenom II   : x3.6   x2.7
Intel Core 2    : x2.0   x1.9

tcrypt results, i386 (speed ratios: new-u32/old, new-u8/old):

                  u32    u8
Intel Atom N260 : x1.5   x1.4

ce6dd36898 crypto: arc4 - improve performance by adding ecb(arc4)
Currently arc4.c provides simple one-byte blocksize cipher which is wrapped
by ecb() module, giving function call overhead on every encrypted byte. This
patch adds ecb(arc4) directly into arc4.c for higher performance.

tcrypt results (speed ratios: new/old):

AMD Phenom II, x86-64 : x2.7
Intel Core 2, x86-64  : x1.9
Intel Atom N260, i386 : x1.4

560c06ae1a [CRYPTO] api: Get rid of flags argument to setkey
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.

6c2bb98bc3 [CRYPTO] all: Pass tfm instead of ctx to algorithms
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!
