dbe5fe7e1b crypto: doc - AEAD / RNG AF_ALG interface
The patch moves the information provided in
Documentation/crypto/crypto-API-userspace.txt into a separate chapter in
the kernel crypto API DocBook. Some corrections are applied (such as
removing a reference to Netlink when the AF_ALG socket is referred to).

In addition, the AEAD and RNG interface description is now added.

Also, a brief description of the zero-copy interface with an example
code snippet is provided.

7b24d97f16 crypto: doc - describe internal structure
The kernel crypto API has many indirections which warrant a description
as otherwise one can get easily lost. The description explains the
layers of the kernel crypto API based on examples.
