As I mentioned in another thread [1], these crypto-engine patches (#1 - 
#5) imply modifications in all the drivers that use crypto-engine.
It's not backwards compatible.
Your changes imply that do_one_request executes the request & waits for 
completion and enqueue_request sends it to hardware. That means that all 
the other drivers need to be modify, to implement enqueue_request, 
instead of do_one_request. They need to be compliant with the new 
changes, new API. Otherwise, they are not using crypto-engine right, 
don't you think?

Also, do_one_request it shouldn’t be blocking. We got this confirmation 
from Herbert [2].
