Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 0/3] Cavium ThunderX ZIP driver

Hi Herbert,

This series adds support for hardware accelerated compression & decompression
as found on ThunderX (arm64) SOCs.

As per your suggestion, we've switched to the new crypto acomp/scomp interface.

To test the ZIP driver, we modified the kernel's ZSWAP to use acomp API's.

Performance numbers from ZSWAP look promising.
The "average time" for compressing a 4KB page:

Compression Software    : 278 usec
Compression HW deflate  :  17 usec
Compression HW LZS      :  11 usec

Decompression Software  : 20 usec
Decompression HW deflate:  8 usec
Decompression HW LZS    :  6 usec

Addressed the review comments from the RFC v1.
 - Added acomp/scomp crypto interface support.
 - Improved the error handling.
 - ZIP command completion codes are renamed suitably.
 - Removed some un-used code.
 - raw_smp_processor_id() replaced with smp_processor_id().
 - Some more miscellaneous changes. 

Patches are on top of "kernel/git/herbert/crypto-2.6.git" repository

Please provide your feedback.

Regards,
Mahipal
