Subject: [PATCH 1/2] crypto: Add struct crypto_alg->cra_check_optimized

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

This patch adds an optional struct crypto_alg->cra_check_optimized() caller
that can be used by libcrypto algorithms in order to load an architecture
dependent optimized / HW offload module.

This includes adding the call to alg->cra_check_optimized() inside of
crypto_larval_lookup() once the initial generic algorithm has been
loaded via request_module().
