API:
 
 - Drop support for off-CPU cryptography in af_alg.
 - Document that af_alg is *always* slower.
 - Document the deprecation of af_alg.
 - Remove zero-copy support from skcipher and aead in af_alg.
 - Cap AEAD AD length to 0x80000000 in af_alg.
 - Free default RNG on module exit.
 
 Algorithms:
 
 - Fix vli multiplication carry overflow in ecc.
 - Drop unused cipher_null crypto_alg.
 - Remove unused variants of drbg.
 - Use lib/crypto in drbg.
 - Use memcpy_from/to_sglist in authencesn.
 - Allow authenc(hmac(sha{256,384}),cts(cbc(aes))) in FIPS mode.
 - Disallow RSA PKCS#1 SHA-1 sig algs in FIPS mode.
 - Filter out async aead implementations at alloc in krb5.
 - Fix non-parallel fallback by rstoring callback in pcrypt.
 - Validate poly1305 template argument in chacha20poly1305.
 
 Drivers:
 
 - Add sysfs PCI reset support to qat.
 - Add KPT support for GEN6 devices to qat.
 - Remove unused character device and ioctls from qat.
 - Add support for hw access via SMCC to mtk.
