Maybe this should be 3 separate patchsets then? It would be best if
these major functionality changes were bisectable. Also, these patches
mix a lot of trivial cleanup code in with the deltas that actually make
the major changes. Those should be separated.

IOW, more patches that are smaller and targeted would be ideal.

It seems like this set should be a net reduction in code or at least
something closer to 0. This set should not be merged without an
accompanying patch to remove the unused crypto code after the
conversion to the kernel crypto APIs.
