Thanks for the suggestion, the init() is replaced with
<algorithm name>_mod_init ()
and fini () is replaced with <algorithm name>_mod_fini.

Resubmitting this patch which extends sha256_generic.c to support SHA-224 as
described in FIPS 180-2 and RFC 3874. HMAC-SHA-224 as described in RFC4231
is then supported through the hmac interface.
Patch includes test vectors for SHA-224 and HMAC-SHA-224.
SHA-224 chould be chosen as a hash algorithm when 112 bits of security
strength is required.
Patch generated against the 2.6.24-rc1 kernel and tested against
2.6.24-rc1-git14 which includes fix for scatter gather implementation for HMAC.

Not architecture specific code should not #include <asm/scatterlist.h>.
This patch therefore either replaces them with
#include <linux/scatterlist.h> or simply removes them if they were
unused.

There are currently several SHA implementations that all define their own
initialization vectors and size values. Since this values are idential
move them to a header file under include/crypto.

Loading the crypto algorithm by the alias instead of by module directly
has the advantage that all possible implementations of this algorithm
are loaded automatically and the crypto API can choose the best one
depending on its priority.
Additionally it ensures that the generic implementation as well as the
HW driver (if available) is loaded in case the HW driver needs the
generic version as fallback in corner cases.
Also remove the probe for sha1 in padlock's init code.
Quote from Herbert:
The probe is actually pointless since we can always probe when
the algorithm is actually used which does not lead to dead-locks
like this.

Crypto modules should be loadable by their .cra_driver_name, so
we should make MODULE_ALIAS()es with these names. This patch adds
aliases for SHA1 and SHA256 only as that's what we need for
PadLock-SHA driver.

Up until now algorithms have been happy to get a context pointer since
they know everything that's in the tfm already (e.g., alignment, block
size).
However, once we have parameterised algorithms, such information will
be specific to each tfm. So the algorithm API needs to be changed to
pass the tfm structure instead of the context pointer.
This patch is basically a text substitution. The only tricky bit is
the assembly routines that need to get the context pointer offset
through asm-offsets.h.

Various digest algorithms operate one block at a time and therefore
keep a temporary buffer of partial blocks. This buffer does not need
to be initialised since there is a counter which indicates what is and
isn't valid in it.

Some hash modules load/store data words directly. The digest layer
should pass properly aligned buffer to update()/final() method. This
patch also add cra_alignmask to some hash modules.

A lot of crypto code needs to read/write a 32-bit/64-bit words in a
specific gender. Many of them open code them by reading/writing one
byte at a time. This patch converts all the applicable usages over
to use the standard byte order macros.
This is based on a previous patch by Denis Vlasenko.

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!
