[dm-devel] [RFC PATCH] crypto: Add IV generation algorithms

Currently, the iv generation algorithms are implemented in dm-crypt.c. The goal is to move these algorithms from the dm layer to the kernel crypto layer by implementing them as template ciphers so they can be used in relation with algorithms like aes, and with multiple modes like cbc, ecb etc. As
