I have to malloc a lot of memory in the kernel, hence a few questions: 1. The data must be absolutely present at all times, no page faults or locking mechanisms, etc. Does that mean I should use kmem_alloc_wired() or am I misunderstanding its purpose? Does it make sense to alloc less than a

I notice that the IDEA code in OpenSSL is in the Attic and not in the regular source tree. I know that OpenSSL is compiled with something like -DNO_IDEA by default, but that doesn't mean IDEA shouldn't be in the source tree for people who can use it. Would it be possible to get idea reinstated

(According to Applied Cryptography, IDEA is free for non-comercial use. As the source code is being distributed via cvs anyway, I can't see a reason why it isn't being included in any of the branches.) I was under the impression it was restricted (patented) in the US and in some parts
