Hi Dave:

I think this patch belongs to the networking tree.  The reason is
that it's related to xfrm offload which has nothing to do with the
Crypto API.

Do xfrm offload drivers usually go through the networking tree or
would it be better directed through the xfrm tree?

There's really nobody on the crypto mailing list who could give
this the proper review that it deserves.

Of course I'm happy to continue taking anything that touches
chcr_algo.c as that resides wholly within the Crypto API.

Cheers,
