Is this really a "request for comments" set of patches, or do you want me to apply them to my tree?

Why? What does this mean to me? To users? You need to sell this new feature to me a LOT before I will take it as I really want and need to see this driver fixed up first before you can add new features to it.
thanks,

Greg:
I agree; I will work on getting the current core driver out of staging prior to making the kernel crypto changes.
What are the major issues with the core driver? I know about the current items in the TODO list having to do with the unused ioctl calls and structures.
What other issues are there?
Thanks

First off, please fix your email client to do proper quoting and wrap lines at 72 columns. Even Outlook can do this so there really is no excuse anymore...

That's a good place to start, fix those up and when you feel you have addressed everything, ask for a review of the code and we can go from there.
