Hello.
I'm pleased to announce new release of asynchronous crypto layer for
linux kernel 2.6.
Small changelog:

* Removed crypto load balancer thread.
* Eliminated main_crypto_dev.
* Removed unused session states.
* Simplified locking and reference counting.
* Simplified load balancing schema.
* Simple load balancer is part of acrypto module now.
* Added direct completion mode. If session's
callback can be invoked in any context or
if crypto provider can call complete_session() from process context,
one can set SESSION_DIRECT in session flags which will lead to callback
invocation directly from complete_session(), but not from workqueue.

* Here are dm-crypt port changes:
o Reduced memory usage.
o Use memory pools.
o Removed several race conditions.
o Code simplification.
