This patch changes gcm/authenc to return EBADMSG instead of EINVAL for
ICV mismatches. This convention has already been adopted by IPsec.

The previous code incorrectly included the hash in the verification which
also meant that we'd crash and burn when it comes to actually verifying
the hash since we'd go past the end of the SG list.
This patch fixes that by subtracting authsize from cryptlen at the start.

Having enckeylen as a template parameter makes it a pain for hardware
devices that implement ciphers with many key sizes since each one would
have to be registered separately.
Since the authenc algorithm is mainly used for legacy purposes where its
key is going to be constructed out of two separate keys, we can in fact
embed this value into the key itself.
This patch does this by prepending an rtnetlink header to the key that
contains the encryption key length.

As it is authsize is an algorithm paramter which cannot be changed at
run-time. This is inconvenient because hardware that implements such
algorithms would have to register each authsize that they support
separately.
Since authsize is a property common to all AEAD algorithms, we can add
a function setauthsize that sets it at run-time, just like setkey.
This patch does exactly that and also changes authenc so that authsize
is no longer a parameter of its template.

Since alignment masks are always one less than a power of two, we can
use binary or to find their maximum.

Up until now we have ablkcipher algorithms have been identified as
type BLKCIPHER with the ASYNC bit set. This is suboptimal because
ablkcipher refers to two things. On the one hand it refers to the
top-level ablkcipher interface with requests. On the other hand it
refers to and algorithm type underneath.
As it is you cannot request a synchronous block cipher algorithm
with the ablkcipher interface on top. This is a problem because
we want to be able to eventually phase out the blkcipher top-level
interface.
This patch fixes this by making ABLKCIPHER its own type, just as
we have distinct types for HASH and DIGEST. The type it associated
with the algorithm implementation only.
Which top-level interface is used for synchronous block ciphers is
then determined by the mask that's used. If it's a specific mask
then the old blkcipher interface is given, otherwise we go with the
new ablkcipher interface.

It seems that newer versions of gcc have regressed in their abilities to
analyse initialisations. This patch moves the initialisations up to avoid
the warnings.

We do not allow spaces in algorithm names or parameters. Thanks to Joy Latten

This patch adds the authenc algorithm which constructs an AEAD algorithm
from an asynchronous block cipher and a hash. The construction is done
by concatenating the encrypted result from the cipher with the output
from the hash, as is used by the IPsec ESP protocol.
The authenc algorithm exists as a template with four parameters:
authenc(auth, authsize, enc, enckeylen).
The authentication algorithm, the authentication size (i.e., truncating
the output of the authentication algorithm), the encryption algorithm,
and the encryption key length. Both the size field and the key length
field are in bytes. For example, AES-128 with SHA1-HMAC would be
represented by
authenc(hmac(sha1), 12, cbc(aes), 16)
The key for the authenc algorithm is the concatenation of the keys for
the authentication algorithm with the encryption algorithm. For the
above example, if a key of length 36 bytes is given, then hmac(sha1)
would receive the first 20 bytes while the last 16 would be given to
cbc(aes).
