Hi Herbert.
Good to see async crypto processing is being (a bit slowly - more than a
year after we talked about it previously :) completed.
With this patchset included there will not be requirement for another async
levels,
so I can port HIFN 795x driver from acrypto to this one.
Do you have a stable git tree to pull from, so I could prepare a testbed.
(althugh I can not start right now, but expect to do it soon).
And, hmm, your documentation really sucks, could you write a draft for
async api and put it into the tree?
Thanks for the work.
