+/**
+ * struct ahash_alg - asynchronous message digest definition
+ * @init: Initialize the transformation context. Intended only to initialize the
+ *	  state of the HASH transformation at the begining. This shall fill in
+ *	  the internal structures used during the entire duration of the whole
+ *	  transformation. No data processing happens at this point.
+ * @update: Push a chunk of data into the driver for transformation. This
+ *	   function actually pushes blocks of data from upper layers into the
+ *	   driver, which then passes those to the hardware as seen fit. This
+ *	   function must not finalize the HASH transformation by calculating the
+ *	   final message digest as this only adds more data into the
+ *	   transformation. This function shall not modify the transformation
+ *	   context, as this function may be called in parallel with the same
+ *	   transformation object. Data processing can happen synchronously
+ *	   [SHASH] or asynchronously [AHASH] at this point.
+ * @final: Retrieve result from the driver. This function finalizes the
+ *	   transformation and retrieves the resulting hash from the driver and
+ *	   pushes it back to upper layers. No data processing happens at this
+ *	   point.
+ * @finup: Combination of @update and @final. This function is effectively a
+ *	   combination of @update and @final calls issued in sequence. As some
+ *	   hardware cannot do @update and @final separately, this callback was
+ *	   added to allow such hardware to be used at least by IPsec. Data
+ *	   processing can happen synchronously [SHASH] or asynchronously [AHASH]
+ *	   at this point.
+ * @digest: Combination of @init and @update and @final. This function
+ *	    effectively behaves as the entire chain of operations, @init,
+ *	    @update and @final issued in sequence. Just like @finup, this was
+ *	    added for hardware which cannot do even the @finup, but can only do
+ *	    the whole transformation in one run. Data processing can happen
+ *	    synchronously [SHASH] or asynchronously [AHASH] at this point.
+ * @setkey: Set optional key used by the hashing algorithm. Intended to push
+ *	    optional key used by the hashing algorithm from upper layers into
+ *	    the driver. This function can store the key in the transformation
+ *	    context or can outright program it into the hardware. In the former
+ *	    case, one must be careful to program the key into the hardware at
+ *	    appropriate time and one must be careful that .setkey() can be
+ *	    called multiple times during the existence of the transformation
+ *	    object. Not  all hashing algorithms do implement this function as it
+ *	    is only needed for keyed message digests. SHAx/MDx/CRCx do NOT
+ *	    implement this function. HMAC(MDx)/HMAC(SHAx)/CMAC(AES) do implement
+ *	    this function. This function must be called before any other of the
+ *	    @init, @update, @final, @finup, @digest is called. No data
+ *	    processing happens at this point.
+ * @export: Export partial state of the transformation. This function dumps the
+ *	    entire state of the ongoing transformation into a provided block of
+ *	    data so it can be @import 'ed back later on. This is useful in case
+ *	    you want to save partial result of the transformation after
+ *	    processing certain amount of data and reload this partial result
+ *	    multiple times later on for multiple re-use. No data processing
+ *	    happens at this point.
+ * @import: Import partial state of the transformation. This function loads the
+ *	    entire state of the ongoing transformation from a provided block of
+ *	    data so the transformation can continue from this point onward. No
+ *	    data processing happens at this point.

+ * DOC: Synchronous Block Cipher API
+ *
+ * The synchronous block cipher API is used with the ciphers of type
+ * CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_BLKCIPHER (listed as type "blkcipher" in /proc/crypto)
+ *
+ * Synchronous calls, have a context in the tfm. But since a single tfm can be
+ * used in multiple calls and in parallel, this info should not be changeable
+ * (unless a lock is used). This applies, for example, to the symmetric key.
+ * However, the IV is changeable, so there is an iv field in blkcipher_tfm
+ * structure for synchronous blkcipher api. So, its the only state info that can
+ * be kept for synchronous calls without using a big lock across a tfm.
+ *
+ * The block cipher API allows the use of a complete cipher, i.e. a cipher
+ * consisting of a template (a block chaining mode) and a single block cipher
+ * primitive (e.g. AES).
+ *
+ * The plaintext data buffer and the ciphertext data buffer are pointed to
+ * by using scatter/gather lists. The cipher operation is performed
+ * on all segments of the provided scatter/gather lists.
+ *
+ * The kernel crypto API supports a cipher operation "in-place" which means that
+ * the caller may provide the same scatter/gather list for the plaintext and
+ * cipher text. After the completion of the cipher operation, the plaintext
+ * data is replaced with the ciphertext data in case of an encryption and vice
+ * versa for a decryption. The caller must ensure that the scatter/gather lists
+ * for the output data point to sufficiently large buffers, i.e. multiples of
+ * the block size of the cipher.
