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:

Initialization of cra_list is currently mixed, most ciphers initialize this
field and most shashes do not. Initialization however is not needed at all
since cra_list is initialized/overwritten in __crypto_register_alg() with
list_add(). Therefore perform cleanup to remove all unneeded initializations
of this field in 'crypto/'.

They are 64K and result in order-4 allocations, even with SLUB.

Therefore, just like we always have for the deflate buffers, use
vmalloc.

<title>zlib: slim down zlib_deflate() workspace when possible</title>

Instead of always creating a huge (268K) deflate_workspace with the
maximum compression parameters (windowBits=15, memLevel=8), allow the
caller to obtain a smaller workspace by specifying smaller parameter
values.

For example, when capturing oops and panic reports to a medium with
limited capacity, such as NVRAM, compression may be the only way to
capture the whole report.  In this case, a small workspace (24K works
fine) is a win, whether you allocate the workspace when you need it (i.e.,
during an oops or panic) or at boot time.

I've verified that this patch works with all accepted values of windowBits
(positive and negative), memLevel, and compression level.

Thanks for the suggestion, the init() is replaced with

and fini () is replaced with &lt;algorithm name&gt;_mod_fini.

<title>[CRYPTO] api: Added cra_init/cra_exit</title>

This patch adds the hooks cra_init/cra_exit which are called during a tfm's
construction and destruction respectively.  This will be used by the instances
to allocate child tfm's.

For now this lets us get rid of the coa_init/coa_exit functions which are
used for exactly that purpose (unlike the dia_init function which is called
for each transaction).

In fact the coa_exit path is currently buggy as it may get called twice
when an error is encountered during initialisation.

<title>[CRYPTO] all: Pass tfm instead of ctx to algorithms</title>

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.
