Changes since v11:
 - drop scatter-gather I/O definition for virtio crypto device because
   The vring already provides scatter-gather I/O.  It is usually not
   necessary to define scatter-gather I/O at the device level.      [Stefan]
 - perfect algorithm chain parameters' definition.
 - add HASH/MAC parameter structure.

Changes since v10:
 - fix typos s/filed/field/. [Xin]
 - replace 'real cypto accelerator' with 'backend crypto accelerator'. [mst]
 - drop KDF, ASYM, PRIMITIVE services description temporarily. [mst]
 - write a device requirement are testable about VIRTIO_CRYPTO_S_HW_READY. [mst]
 - add a space before * in one code comment. [mst]
 - reset the layout of all crypto operations for better asymmetric algos 
support. [Xin]
 - add more detailed description for initialization vector under different 
modes.
 - sed -i 's/VIRTIO_CRYPTO_OP_/VIRTIO_CRYPTO_/g' for general usage in asym 
algos. [Xin]

Changes since v9:
 - request a native speaker go over the text and fix corresponding grammar 
issues. [mst]
 - make some description more appropriated over here and there. [mst]
 - rewrite some requirement for both device and driver. [mst]
 - use RFC 2119 keywords. [mst]
 - fix some complaints by Xelatex and typoes. [Xin Zeng]
 - add scatter/getter chain support for possible large block data.

Thanks for your review, Michael and Xin.

Changes from v8:
 - add additional auth gpa and length to struct virtio_crypto_sym_data_req;
 - add definition of op in struct virtio_crypto_cipher_session_para,
  VIRTIO_CRYPTO_OP_ENCRYPT and VIRTIO_CRYPTO_OP_DECRYPT;
 - make all structures 64bit aligned in order to support different
  architectures more conveniently [Alex & Stefan]
 - change to devicenormative{\subsection} and \drivernormative{\subsection} in 
some sections [Stefan]
 - driver does not have to initialize all data virtqueues if it wants to use 
fewer [Stefan]
 - drop VIRTIO_CRYPTO_NO_SERVICE definition [Stefan]
 - many grammatical problems and typos. [Stefan]
 - rename VIRTIO_CRYPTO_MAC_CMAC_KASUMI_F9 to VIRTIO_CRYPTO_MAC_CMAC_KASUMI_F9,
  and VIRTIO_CRYPTO_MAC_CMAC_SNOW3G_UIA2 to VIRTIO_CRYPTO_MAC_SNOW3G_UIA2. 
[Liang Ma]
 - drop queue_id property of struct virtio_crypto_op_data_req.
 - reconstruct some structures about session operation request.
 - introduce struct virtio_crypto_alg_chain_session_req and struct 
virtio_crypto_alg_chain_data_req,
  introduce chain para, output, input structures as well.
 - change some sections' layout for better compatibility, for asymmetric algos. 
[Xin Zeng]

Changes from v7:
 - fix some grammar or typo problems.
 - add more detailed description at steps of encryption section.

Changes from v6:
 - drop verion filed in struct virtio_crypto_config. [Michael & Cornelia]
 - change the incorrect description in initialization routine. [Zeng Xin]
 - redefine flag u16 to make structure alignment. [Zeng Xin]
 - move the content of virtio_crypto_hash_session_para into
   virtio_crypto_hash_session_input directly, Same to MAC/SYM/AEAD session 
creation. [Zeng Xin]
 - adjuest the sequence of idata and odata refer to the virtio scsi parts,
   meanwhile add the comments of device-readable/writable for them.
 - add restrictive documents for the guest memory in some structure, which
   MUST be gauranted to be allocated and physically-contiguous.

Changes from v5:
 - add conformance clauses for virtio crypto device. [Michael]
 - drop VIRTIO_CRYPTO_S_STARTED. [Michael]
 - fix some characters problems. [Stefan]
 - add a MAC algorithm, named VIRTIO_CRYPTO_MAC_ZUC_EIA3. [Zeng Xin]
 - add the fourth return code, named VIRTIO_CRYPTO_OP_INVSESS used
   for invalid session id when executing crypto operations.
 - drop some gpu stuff forgot to delete. [Michael]
 - convert tab to space all over the content.

Changes from v4:
 - introduce crypto services into virtio crypto device. The services
   currently defined are CIPHER, MAC, HASH, AEAD, KDF, ASYM, PRIMITIVE.
 - define a unified crypto request format that is consisted of
   general header + service specific request,  Where 'general header' is for all
   crypto request,  'service specific request' is composed of
   operation parameter + input data + output data in generally.
   operation parameter is algorithm-specific parameters,
   input data is the data should be operated ,
   output data is the "operation result + result buffer".
 - redefine the algorithms and structure based on above crypto services.
 - rearrange the title and subtitle
 - Only support CIPHER, MAC, HASH and AEAD crypto services, and Xin will
   focus KDF, ASYM and PRIMITIVE services.
 - Some other corresponding fixes.
 - Make a formal patch using tex type.

This version is a big reconstruction based on Zeng, Xin' comments, thanks a lot.

Changes from v3:
 - Don't use enum is the spec but macros in specific structures. [Michael & 
Stefan]
 - Add two complete structures for session creation and closing, so that
  the spec is clear on how to lay out the request.  [Stefan]
 - Definite the crypto operation request with assigned structure, in this way,
  each data request only occupies *one entry* of the Vring descriptor table,
  which *improves* the *throughput* of data transferring.

Changes from v2:
 - Reserve virtio device ID 20 for crypto device. [Cornelia]
 - Drop all feature bits, those capabilities are offered by the device all the 
time.  [Stefan & Cornelia]
 - Add a new section 1.4.2 for driver requirements. [Stefan]
 - Use definite type definition instead of enum type in some structure. [Stefan]
 - Add virtio_crypto_cipher_alg definition. [Stefan]
 - Add a "Device requirements" section as using MUST. [Stefan]
 - Some grammar nits fixes and typo fixes. [Stefan & Cornelia]
 - Add one VIRTIO_CRYPTO_S_STARTED status for the driver as the flag of 
virtio-crypto device started and can work now.

Great thanks for Stefan and Cornelia!

Changes from v1:
 - Drop the feature bit definition for each algorithm, and using config space 
instead  [Cornelia]
 - Add multiqueue support and add corresponding feature bit
 - Update Encryption process and header definition
 - Add session operation process and add corresponding header description
 - Other better description in order to fit for virtio spec  [Michael]
 - Some other trivial fixes.
