Subject: Re: Crypto Update for 2.6.28

Hi Linus:

At this late stage there is just one fix for a regression from
2.6.27.  We used to allow algorithms to be built-in with the new
testing framework built as a module.  This meant that the built-in
algorithms may not get tested properly if modules can't be loaded
when the built-in algorithms are registered.  It also seems to
trigger a modprobe loop on one distro.  This configuration is now
forbidden.
