Subject: BigNum support in Kernel?

All,

I am planning to work on some experimental crypto support in kernel
level. For the development, I need to use BigNum library. I wanted to
load a minimal BigNum library into memory for high performance. Any
suggestions on what library would be the best?

Red Hat / Fedora / Debian / most other distributions have been
maintaining a kernel port of the GNU MPI math library for several
years now. It's not difficult to write your own either, of course.
