This patch series removes the obsolete interfaces now that all users in mainline and mm have been converted. It also adds support to the API to allow multiple frontend types for one backend. The immediate application will be to provide an async interface to all existing sync crypto algorithms. However, it could also be used for other purposes such as providing a virtual address interface for synchronous algorithms where currently we require the use of scatterlists.
