dm crypt: use async crypto

dm-crypt: Use crypto ablkcipher interface
Move encrypt/decrypt core to async crypto call.



well.... it's much better now, without the async interface.
Christian Kajau, can you confirm it too?


I reverted the commit above from today's -git and booted....I could not
notice any hangs more. But when I tried to reproduce these hangs by
generating disk I/O (mostly reads) ~10 minutes later the box panicked, but

still not netconsole messages :-(

thanks,
C.

I finally got around to test this - and yes, 2.6.25-rc6 with this patch
applied make the hangs go away. There are other problems now[0], but they
don't seem to be related, AFAICT.


Thank you!
Christian.

I noticed that this patch[0] hasn't made it into mainline yet,
will this be included or is this fixed by something else?

Thanks,
Christian.
