Farhan Ali d0d859bb87 crypto: virtio - Register an algo only if it's supported
Register a crypto algo with the Linux crypto layer only if
the algorithm is supported by the backend virtio-crypto
device.

Also route crypto requests to a virtio-crypto
device, only if it can support the requested service and
algorithm.

Gonglei dbaf0624ff crypto: add virtio-crypto driver
This patch introduces virtio-crypto driver for Linux Kernel.

The virtio crypto device is a virtual cryptography device
as well as a kind of virtual hardware accelerator for
virtual machines. The encryption anddecryption requests
are placed in the data queue and are ultimately handled by
thebackend crypto accelerators. The second queue is the
control queue used to create or destroy sessions for
symmetric algorithms and will control some advanced features
in the future. The virtio crypto device provides the following
cryptoservices: CIPHER, MAC, HASH, and AEAD.

For more information about virtio-crypto device, please see:
