    This patch introduces virtio-crypto driver for Linux Kernel.
    
    The virtio crypto device is a virtual cryptography device
    as well as a kind of virtual hardware accelerator for
    virtual machines. The encryption anddecryption requests
    are placed in the data queue and are ultimately handled by
    thebackend crypto accelerators. The second queue is the
    control queue used to create or destroy sessions for
    symmetric algorithms and will control some advanced features
    in the future. The virtio crypto device provides the following
    cryptoservices: CIPHER, MAC, HASH, and AEAD.
