[RFC 0/2] integrity: asynchronous hash support

2014-02-28 Thread Dmitry Kasatkin
HW accelerated hash calculation is available only via ahash API. First patch introduces usage of ahash API for file hash calculation. It allows to offload hash calculation to HW accelerator and release CPU time to do other usefull job. It might speedup hash calculation but also reduce power
