Hence shouldn't the latter (e.g. RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5) select CRYPTO_KRB5ENC
or CRYPTO_KRB5? Or am I missing something?
SunRPC hasn't been converted to use it yet.  The help text is slightly
misleading, I guess: "Kerberos 5-style encryption" is used by sunrpc/NFS
within the kernel, but not this library yet.

Unfortunately, the rxrpc/AFS patches didn't make it in due to them requiring
to go through the net-next tree, but having dependencies on both the VFS tree
and the crypto tree.

Herbert wanted the crypto patches (krb5 lib) based on his tree, which I did
and he pulled it - but then this disqualified it for also being pulled into
net-next as that would've pulled *all* the crypodev patches there as well.

For reference, the rxrpc patches can be found here:

	https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/log/?h=rxrpc-next

I intend to post them for net-next inclusion after the merge window.
