AEAD requires the caller to specify the following information separate
from the data stream. This information allows the AEAD interface handler
to identify the AAD, ciphertext/plaintext and the authentication tag:
* Associated authentication data of arbitrary length and
length
* Length of authentication tag for encryption

Remove linux/mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h -- it's unused (I've checked manually).
To prevent mm.h inclusion via other channels also extract "enum dma_data_direction"
definition into separate header. This tiny piece is what gluing netdevice.h with mm.h
via "netdevice.h => dmaengine.h => dma-mapping.h => scatterlist.h => mm.h".
Removal of mm.h from scatterlist.h was tried and was found not feasible
on most archs, so the link was cutoff earlier.
Hope people are OK with tiny include file.
Note, that mm_types.h is still dragged in, but it is a separate story.

This patch creates the backbone of the user-space interface for
the Crypto API, through a new socket family AF_ALG.
Each session corresponds to one or more connections obtained from
that socket. The number depends on the number of inputs/outputs
of that particular type of operation. For most types there will
be a s ingle connection/file descriptor that is used for both input
and output. AEAD is one of the few that require two inputs.
Each algorithm type will provide its own implementation that plugs
into af_alg. They're keyed using a string such as "skcipher" or
"hash".
IOW this patch only contains the boring bits that is required
to hold everything together.
Thakns to Miloslav Trmac for reviewing this and contributing
fixes and improvements.
