Please consider using crypto/hash_info.c: hash_algo_name[], which
already define the algorithm string names.  Use
include/crypto/hash_info.c to include a reference to this array.

Boot command line options should be prefixed with the subsystem name.
So instead of hashalg, please use tpm_hashalg.  The boot command line
option needs to be documented in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.
