[CRYPTO] Add support for low-level multi-block operations

This patch adds hooks for cipher algorithms to implement multi-block
ECB/CBC operations directly.  This is expected to provide significant
performance boots to the VIA Padlock.

It could also be used for improving software implementations such as
AES where operating on multiple blocks at a time may enable certain
optimisations.

[CRYPTO]: Only reschedule if !in_atomic()

The netlink gfp_any() problem made me double-check the uses of in_softirq()
in crypto/*.  It seems to me that we should be checking in_atomic() instead
of in_softirq() in crypto_yield.  Otherwise people calling the crypto ops
with spin locks held or preemption disabled will get burnt, right?

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
