  • This adds the module loading prefix "crypto-" to the template lookup
    as well.

    For example, attempting to load 'vfat(blowfish)' via AF_ALG now correctly
    includes the "crypto-" prefix at every level, correctly rejecting "vfat":

    net-pf-38
    algif-hash
    crypto-vfat(blowfish)
    crypto-vfat(blowfish)-all
    crypto-vfat

  • This patch introduces the multi-buffer crypto daemon which is responsible
    for submitting crypto jobs in a work queue to the responsible multi-buffer
    crypto algorithm. The idea of the multi-buffer algorihtm is to put
    data streams from multiple jobs in a wide (AVX2) register and then
    take advantage of SIMD instructions to do crypto computation on several
    buffers simultaneously.

    The multi-buffer crypto daemon is also responsbile for flushing the
    remaining buffers to complete the computation if no new buffers arrive
    for a while.
