The patches almost all lack real descriptions. I'm not sure whether
that was intentional or not, but some of them could *really* use some
explanation.

Also, I don't think this patchset is really complete yet. The last
patch in this set should be "Remove old private CIFS crypto routines".
With the move to using the standard kernel crypto API, it seems like we
should have a net reduction in code or at least something closer to 0.
That would make it a lot easier to stomach taking in a large patchset
like this.
