Thing is, this isn't net code and it isn't crypto code - it's a
kernel-wide utility.  Everyone needs to know at least a bit about it
and code-reviewers such as myself need to know a lot about it, so we
can tell people "hey dummy, shouldn't you use padata".

So please, can we belatedly go through the process of educating the
developers about this thing you guys have written for us?
