I again suggest not using ``<func>`` but instead use <func>()
and remove unnecessary blank lines.

i.e.:

* prepare_crypt_hardware(): Called once before any prepare functions are
called.
* unprepare_crypt_hardware(): Called once after all unprepare functions
have been called.
* prepare_cipher_request()/prepare_hash_request(): Called before each
corresponding request is performed. If some processing or other preparatory
work is required, do it here.
* unprepare_cipher_request()/unprepare_hash_request(): Called after each
request is handled. Clean up / undo what was done in the prepare function.
* cipher_one_request()/hash_one_request(): Handle the current request by
performing the operation.
