Hi Herbert.

This looks great. I especially like xfrm output path generalization and
xfrm_skb_cb structure introduction (acrypto allocated a special
structure from slab for each packet).
Do you expect to complete full async processing before 2.6.24 and, Dave,
is there any chance it can be accepted for upcoming release?
