I'll let Herbert, the crypto layer maintainer, decide on this one. I can put it into net-2.6.22 in order to make the RXRPC integration easier if Herbert is OK with this. Please be sure to CC: Herbert and/or the crypto lists on any future crypto layer patches David, thanks. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
