+ *	    the @cra_init call, this function might need to use the fallback if
+ *	    the algorithm doesn't support all of the key sizes.
+ * @encrypt: Encrypt a scatterlist of blocks. This function is used to encrypt
+ *	     the supplied scatterlist containing the blocks of data. The crypto
+ *	     API consumer is responsible for aligning the entries of the
+ *	     scatterlist properly and making sure the chunks are correctly

+ *	     shall not modify the transformation context, as this function may

+ * @decrypt: Decrypt a single block. This is a reverse counterpart to @encrypt
+ *	     and the conditions are exactly the same.
+ * @givencrypt: Update the IV for encryption. With this function, a cipher
+ *	        implementation may provide the function on how to update the IV
+ *	        for encryption.
+ * @givdecrypt: Update the IV for decryption. This is the reverse of
+ *	        @givencrypt .
+ * @geniv: The transformation implementation may use an "IV generator" provided
+ *	   by the kernel crypto API. Several use cases have a predefined
+ *	   approach how IVs are to be updated. For such use cases, the kernel
+ *	   crypto API provides ready-to-use implementations that can be
+ *	   referenced with this variable.
+ * @ivsize: IV size applicable for transformation. The consumer must provide an
+ *	    IV of exactly that size to perform the encrypt or decrypt operation.
+ *
+ * All fields except @givencrypt , @givdecrypt , @geniv and @ivsize are

+ *	       used for fine-tuning the description of the transformation
+ *	       algorithm.
+ * @cra_blocksize: Minimum block size of this transformation. The size in bytes
+ *		   of the smallest possible unit which can be transformed with
+ *		   this algorithm. The users must respect this value.
+ *		   In case of HASH transformation, it is possible for a smaller
+ *		   block than @cra_blocksize to be passed to the crypto API for
+ *		   transformation, in case of any other transformation type, an
+ * 		   error will be returned upon any attempt to transform smaller
+ *		   than @cra_blocksize chunks.
+ * @cra_ctxsize: Size of the operational context of the transformation. This
+ *		 value informs the kernel crypto API about the memory size
+ *		 needed to be allocated for the transformation context.
+ * @cra_alignmask: Alignment mask for the input and output data buffer. The data
+ *		   buffer containing the input data for the algorithm must be
+ *		   aligned to this alignment mask. The data buffer for the
+ *		   output data must be aligned to this alignment mask. Note that
+ *		   the Crypto API will do the re-alignment in software, but
+ *		   only under special conditions and there is a performance hit.
+ *		   The re-alignment happens at these occasions for different
+ *		   @cra_u types: cipher -- For both input data and output data
+ *		   buffer; ahash -- For output hash destination buf; shash --
+ *		   For output hash destination buf.
+ *		   This is needed on hardware which is flawed by design and
+ *		   cannot pick data from arbitrary addresses.
+ * @cra_priority: Priority of this transformation implementation. In case
+ *		  multiple transformations with same @cra_name are available to
+ *		  the Crypto API, the kernel will use the one with highest
+ *		  @cra_priority.
+ * @cra_name: Generic name (usable by multiple implementations) of the
+ *	      transformation algorithm. This is the name of the transformation
+ *	      itself. This field is used by the kernel when looking up the
+ *	      providers of particular transformation.
+ * @cra_driver_name: Unique name of the transformation provider. This is the
+ *		     name of the provider of the transformation. This can be any
+ *		     arbitrary value, but in the usual case, this contains the
+ *		     name of the chip or provider and the name of the
+ *		     transformation algorithm.
+ * @cra_type: Type of the cryptographic transformation. This is a pointer to
+ *	      struct crypto_type, which implements callbacks common for all
+ *	      trasnformation types. There are multiple options:
+ *	      &crypto_blkcipher_type, &crypto_ablkcipher_type,
+ *	      &crypto_ahash_type, &crypto_aead_type, &crypto_rng_type.
+ *	      This field might be empty. In that case, there are no common
+ *	      callbacks. This is the case for: cipher, compress, shash.
+ * @cra_u: Callbacks implementing the transformation. This is a union of
+ *	   multiple structures. Depending on the type of transformation selected
+ *	   by @cra_type and @cra_flags above, the associated structure must be
+ *	   filled with callbacks. This field might be empty. This is the case
+ *	   for ahash, shash.
+ * @cra_init: Initialize the cryptographic transformation object. This function
+ *	      is used to initialize the cryptographic transformation object.
+ *	      This function is called only once at the instantiation time, right
+ *	      after the transformation context was allocated. In case the
+ *	      cryptographic hardware has some special requirements which need to
+ *	      be handled by software, this function shall check for the precise
+ *	      requirement of the transformation and put any software fallbacks
+ *	      in place.
+ * @cra_exit: Deinitialize the cryptographic transformation object. This is a
+ *	      counterpart to @cra_init, used to remove various changes set in
+ *	      @cra_init.
+ * @cra_module: Owner of this transformation implementation. Set to THIS_MODULE
+ * @cra_list: internally used
+ * @cra_users: internally used
+ * @cra_refcnt: internally used
+ * @cra_destroy: internally used
