    crypto: skcipher - Add low-level skcipher interface · 4e6c3df4

    This patch allows skcipher algorithms and instances to be created
    and registered with the crypto API.  They are accessible through
    the top-level skcipher interface, along with ablkcipher/blkcipher
    algorithms and instances.
    
    This patch also introduces a new parameter called chunk size
    which is meant for ciphers such as CTR and CTS which ostensibly
    can handle arbitrary lengths, but still behave like block ciphers
    in that you can only process a partial block at the very end.
    
    For these ciphers the block size will continue to be set to 1
    as it is now while the chunk size will be set to the underlying
    block size.
