Expose Talitos's XOR functionality to be used for
RAID Parity calculation via the Async_tx layer.

Known Issue:
When used with fsldma, random crashes are observed
on some platforms. Hence, inter-operability with fsldma
is currently disabled

Thanks to Surender Kumar and Lee Nipper for their help in
realising this driver

Changes with respect to v1 as per comments received
o. Rebased to linux-next as of 20091216
o. The selection is based exclusive of fsldma
o. Intoduced a new Kernel Configuration variable
   *. This enables selecting the Cryptographic functionality
      of Talitos along with fsldma.
   *. Disables the XOR parity calculation offload, if fsldma enabled
      either as kernel in-built or as a module
   *. Once the inter-operability with fsldma is resolved, this option
      can be removed

wait, why can't the interoperability bug be fixed in the first place?
