RE: [PATCH 1/1] RFC: Add CryptoAPI User Space Interface Support

Hi,

Yes... It is intended not to patch OpenSSL twice. Besides the interface
API, the internal does NOT resemble OCF in anyway.

This should add support for OpenSSL. Please note that user of this 
patch musts patch OpenSSL. The OpenSSL patch can be found in 
OCF-Linux as this interface uses the same I/O control interface.

So this interface must stay as it in order not to patch openssl twice?

I don't think compatibility with OCF is necessary at all.  We should
create an interface that is suitable for Linux first of all rather than
concentrating on OCF.

Cheers,
