Hmm. Seems none of them were ever Cc'ed to linuxppc-dev. So this is the
first I've seen of them.

Sorry, I didn't know that you weren't aware of this change.  I
will be more careful with these ppc patches in future.

No worries, not your fault. My comments were mostly intended for Danny.

Although one question I do have for you is what rules, if any, do we
have for deciding whether crypto code goes in drivers/crypto vs
arch/*/crypto?

On powerpc we have some in arch/powerpc/crypto and some in
drivers/crypto/vmx, and I don't really know why it's split that way.

It seems like drivers/crypto is where non-CPU crypto accelerator drivers
go, but then it also has lots of in-CPU crypto code as well AFAICS.

I wonder if we should move drivers/crypto/vmx into arch/powerpc/crypto,
so that all the powerpc CRYPTOGAMS code is in one place. That would help
to clean up some of the duplication of perl scripts we now have.
