Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Add struct crypto_alg->cra_check_optimized for crc32c_intel

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@...ux-iscsi.org>

Hi Herbert and Co,

This series adds a struct crypto_alg->cra_check_optimized() that can be optionally
used by crc32c.ko (and other algorithms) in order to make a request_module() call
to load architecture dependent offload code for a libcrypto base algorithm.

This patch is a result of feedback during review for the iscsi_target_mod fabric
module here:

Re: [RFC 12/12] iscsi-target: Add Makefile/Kconfig and update TCM
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=129974455726437&w=2

Please review and comment,

Thanks!
