      "message": "[CRYPTO] cipher: Added block cipher type\n\nThis patch adds the new type of block ciphers.  Unlike current cipher\nalgorithms which operate on a single block at a time, block ciphers\noperate on an arbitrarily long linear area of data.  As it is block-based,\nit will skip any data remaining at the end which cannot form a block.\n\nThe block cipher has one major difference when compared to the existing\nblock cipher implementation.  The sg walking is now performed by the\nalgorithm rather than the cipher mid-layer.  This is needed for drivers\nthat directly support sg lists.  It also improves performance for all\nalgorithms as it reduces the total number of indirect calls by one.\n\nIn future the existing cipher algorithm will be converted to only have\na single-block interface.  This will be done after all existing users\nhave switched over to the new block cipher type.\n\nSigned-off-by: Herbert Xu \u003cherbert@gondor.apana.org.au\u003e\n"
