This patchs allows to combine the AES and SHA hardware accelerators on some Atmel SoCs. Doing so, AES blocks are only written to/read from the AES hardware. Those blocks are also transferred from the AES to the SHA accelerator internally, without additionnal accesses to the system busses. Hence, the AES and SHA accelerators work in parallel to process all the data blocks, instead of serializing the process by (de)crypting those blocks first then authenticating them after like the generic crypto/authenc.c driver does. Of course, both the AES and SHA hardware accelerators need to be available before we can start to process the data blocks. Hence we use their crypto request queue to synchronize both drivers.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
