003f6c9df5 lib/sha1.c: quiet sparse noise about symbol not declared
Include <linux/cryptohash.h> to pickup the declarations for sha_transform
and sha_init to quite the sparse noise:

  warning: symbol 'sha_transform' was not declared. Should it be static?
  warning: symbol 'sha_init' was not declared. Should it be static?

1eb19a12bd lib/sha1: use the git implementation of SHA-1
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.

72fd4a35a8 [PATCH] Numerous fixes to kernel-doc info in source files.
A variety of (mostly) innocuous fixes to the embedded kernel-doc content in
source files, including:

  * make multi-line initial descriptions single line
  * denote some function names, constants and structs as such
  * change erroneous opening '/*' to '/**' in a few places
  * reword some text for clarity

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!
