As I understood from someone who was at your Kernel Recipes talk, you
mentioned that it actually stands for 'zinc is not crypto/' (note the
slash)

I mentioned this was in v1 but it wasn't taken as lightly as planned
and was removed, so if it needs a recursive acronym it can be "zinc is
nice crypto", "zinc is neat crypto", or as the commit message
mentions, "zinc as in crypto." Alternatively, it can just not stand
for anything at all. Zinc -> Zinc. That's what the thing is called.
