This patch adds the crypto_type structure which will be used for all new
crypto algorithm types, beginning with block ciphers.
The primary purpose of this abstraction is to allow different crypto_type
objects for crypto algorithms of the same type, in particular, there will
be a different crypto_type objects for asynchronous algorithms.

This patch adds the helpers crypto_get_attr_alg and crypto_alloc_instance
which can be used by simple one-argument templates like hmac to process
input parameters and allocate instances.

Now that the tfm is passed directly to setkey instead of the ctx, we no
longer need to pass the &tfm->crt_flags pointer.
This patch also gets rid of a few unnecessary checks on the key length
for ciphers as the cipher layer guarantees that the key length is within
the bounds specified by the algorithm.
Rather than testing dia_setkey every time, this patch does it only once
during crypto_alloc_tfm. The redundant check from crypto_digest_setkey
is also removed.

Spawns lock a specific crypto algorithm in place. They can then be used
with crypto_spawn_tfm to allocate a tfm for that algorithm. When the base
algorithm of a spawn is deregistered, all its spawns will be automatically
removed.

A crypto_template generates a crypto_alg object when given a set of
parameters. this patch adds the basic data structure fo templates
and code to handle their registration/deregistration.

The crypto API is made up of the part facing users such as IPsec and the
low-level part which is used by cryptographic entities such as algorithms.
This patch splits out the latter so that the two APIs are more clearly
delineated. As a bonus the low-level API can now be modularised if all
algorithms are built as modules.

This patch splits up the twofish crypto routine into a common part ( key
setup ) which will be uses by all twofish crypto modules ( generic-c , i586
assembler and x86_64 assembler ) and generic-c part. It also creates a new
header file which will be used by all 3 modules.
This eliminates all code duplication.
Correctness was verified with the tcrypt module and automated test scripts.
