<title>scsi: iscsi_tcp: Remove unneeded selections of CRYPTO and CRYPTO_MD5</title>

<content type='text'>
As far as I can tell, CRYPTO_MD5 has been unnecessary here ever since it
was added by commit c899e4ef96f0 ("[SCSI] open-iscsi/linux-iscsi-5
Initiator: Kconfig update") in 2005.

CRYPTO was needed until commit 92186c1455a2 ("scsi: iscsi_tcp: Switch to
using the crc32c library"), but is no longer needed.

Remove these unnecessary kconfig selections.

lpfc_cgn_calc_crc32(data, size, crc) is really just an open-coded version
of ~crc32c(bitrev32(crc), data, size).  However, all callers pass crc ==
~0, so it can be simplified even further to just ~crc32c(~0, data, size).
Remove the crc argument and implement it that way.

While we're at it, also use proper types in the function prototype.

<title>Drivers: hv: Add CONFIG_HYPERV_VMBUS option</title>

At present VMBus driver is hinged off of CONFIG_HYPERV which entails
lot of builtin code and encompasses too much. It's not always clear
what depends on builtin hv code and what depends on VMBus. Setting
CONFIG_HYPERV as a module and fudging the Makefile to switch to builtin
adds even more confusion. VMBus is an independent module and should have
its own config option. Also, there are scenarios like baremetal dom0/root
where support is built in with CONFIG_HYPERV but without VMBus. Lastly,
there are more features coming down that use CONFIG_HYPERV and add more
dependencies on it.

So, create a fine grained HYPERV_VMBUS option and update Kconfigs for
dependency on VMBus.

Now that the crc32c() library function directly takes advantage of
architecture-specific optimizations, it is unnecessary to go through the
crypto API.  Just use crc32c().  This is much simpler, and it improves
performance due to eliminating the crypto API overhead.

<title>block: remove the blk_integrity_profile structure</title>

<content type='text'>
Block layer integrity configuration is a bit complex right now, as it
indirects through operation vectors for a simple two-dimensional
configuration:

 a) the checksum type of none, ip checksum, crc, crc64
 b) the presence or absence of a reference tag

Remove the integrity profile, and instead add a separate csum_type flag
which replaces the existing ip-checksum field and a new flag that
indicates the presence of the reference tag.

This removes up to two layers of indirect calls, remove the need to
offload the no-op verification of non-PI metadata to a workqueue and
generally simplifies the code. The downside is that block/t10-pi.c now
has to be built into the kernel when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY is
supported.  Given that both nvme and SCSI require t10-pi.ko, it is loaded
for all usual configurations that enabled CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY
already, though.
