No worries. I should have explained better. My apologies.

Indeed that is my intention. I have tglx's suggested solution coded 
already. Just doing a bunch of allyesconfig builds to confirm all is 
compiling correctly.

I will post all patches as a single patch set this time (posted to all 
concerned).

I will repeat the explanation as well with the new patch set so everyone 
else in other subsystems sees those reasons as well.

If this works for everyone I'll also go back and update the crypto 
patches for the subsystems that have already accepted my previous patches.

Thanks,

Behan
