"Wouldn't it be better if the dmaengine layer made sure it didn't pass
the same channel several times to a client?

I mean, you seem concerned that the memcpy() API should be transparent
and easy to use, but the whole registration interface is just
ridiculously complicated..."
	- Haavard

The dmaengine and async_tx registration/allocation interface is indeed
needlessly complicated.  This redesign has the following goals:

1/ Simplify reference counting: dma channels are not something one would
   expect to be hotplugged, it should be an exceptional event handled by
   drivers not something clients should be mandated to handle in a
   callback.  The common case channel removal event is 'rmmod <dma driver>',
   which for simplicity should be disallowed if the channel is in use.
2/ Add an interface for requesting exclusive access to a channel
   suitable to device-to-memory users.
3/ Convert all memory-to-memory users over to a common allocator, the goal
   here is to not have competing channel allocation schemes.  The only
   competition should be between device-to-memory exclusive allocations and
   the memory-to-memory usage case where channels are shared between
   multiple "clients".

This patch updates the list of transforms we support and clarifies that
the Block Ciphers interface in fact supports all ciphers including stream
ciphers.

It also removes the obsolete Configuration Notes section and adds the
linux-crypto mailing list as the primary bug reporting address.

Finally it documents the fact that setkey should only be called from
user context.

small additional fixes

there is a tiny bug in Documentation/crypto/api-intro.txt.
The file has the following example code:

struct scatterlist sg[2];
[...]
if (crypto_hash_digest(&desc, &sg, 2, result))

which does not match the declaration of crypto_hash_digest() in
include/linux/crypto.h.

(static inline int crypto_hash_digest(struct hash_desc *desc,
	struct scatterlist *sg, unsigned int nbytes, u8 *out)

The code in the example passes the address of a pointer (an array actually) as
the second argument, while the function expects the pointer itself.

I have attached a patch to fix this.

The XTEA implementation was incorrect due to a misinterpretation of
operator precedence.  Because of the wide-spread nature of this
error, the erroneous implementation will be kept, albeit under the
new name of XETA.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
