2007-04-02 Thread David Howells
Add blkcipher accessors for using kernel data directly without the use of scatter lists. Also add a CRYPTO_ALG_DMA algorithm capability flag to permit or deny the use of DMA and hardware accelerators. A hardware accelerator may not be used to access any arbitrary piece of kernel memory lest it
