Hi all,

This set of patches introduces support for TLS 1.0 record layer
encryption/decryption with a corresponding algorithm called
tls10(hmac(<hash>),cbc(<cipher>)).

Similarly to authenc.c on which it is based, this module mixes the base
algorithms in software to produce an algorithm that does record layer
encryption and decryption for TLS1.0.
Any combination of hw and sw base algorithms is possible, but the purpose
is to take advantage of hardware acceleration for TLS record layer offloading
when hardware acceleration is present.

This is a software alternative to forthcoming Freescale caam patches that
will add support for one-pass hardware-only TLS record layer offloading.

Performance figures depend largely on several factors including hardware
support and record layer size. For user-space applications the
kernel/user-space interface is also important. That said, we have done several
performance tests using openssl and cryptodev on Freescale QorIQ platforms.
On P4080, for a single stream of records larger than 512 bytes, the performance
improved from about 22Mbytes/s to 64Mbytes/s while also reducing CPU load.

The purpose of this module is to enable TLS kernel offloading on hw platforms
that have acceleration for AES/SHA1 but do not have direct support for TLS
record layer.
