The MPPE code uses the sync skcipher to invoke the ecb(arc4) skcipher, of which only a single generic C code implementation exists. This means that going through all the trouble of using scatterlists etc buys us very little, and we're better off just invoking the arc4 library directly. Note that the SHA1 shash used by this driver has several accelerated implementations for various architectures, so retaining that part does make sense.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
