It was originally fscrypt, but then fscrypto crept in when we
refactored the out to the fs/crypto directory from fs/ext4.  I was
planning on cleaning that up before we had too many file systems users
of fscrypt that we would need to synchronzie with, but it'll be easier
to do this as a separate git tree.  We can either do it at the very
beginning of the merge window (and have all of the file systems pull
the change into fs/crypt), or I can work with Linus to do it right
after the next next merge window closes.

My preferences would be for the former, given where we are in the
development cycle.

Any objections?
