Looks much saner now, thanks for all of the work on this:

Or am I supposed to take this in my tree? If so, I can, but I need an
ack for the crypto parts.

That's Great, thanks Greg.

For the convenience, I rebase the patchset on 5.6-rc1.
Not sure is there any conflict to crypto tree.
How about just pick the uacce part, patch 1 , 2.
We can resend the crypto part to crypto tree.

Thanks

I can take this series through the crypto tree if that's fine with
you.
