Hi Herbert,

This patch adds the AEAD support for AF_ALG.

The implementation is based on algif_skcipher, but contains heavy
modifications to streamline the interface for AEAD uses.

To use AEAD, the user space consumer has to use the salg_type named
"aead".

I just saw Al Viro's patch to use the iov_iter API in algif_skcipher.c. I 
looked at it but lacked documentation for using it properly. Now I have a 
template that I will incorporate into algif_aead.c

Please resubmit once you have done this.

Thanks,
