cipe

[Tom 'spot' Callaway]

I originally sent this on Jul 25th, 2003... but it got eaten by the
"message too large" monster, and is likely still waiting approval from
the list admin. This version does NOT have the attached patches, but
they're on the bugzilla entry.

(Perhaps we should up the size restriction limit a bit on the -devel
list to allow patches to be posted?)

Both valid points. Attached are the four patches to add Cipe 1.5.4
support into the kernel. The cipe3 and cipe4 patch add the two cipe
protocol trees, configured for blowfish. These patches include all
relevant diffs from Red Hat's 1.4.6 cipe implementation. I also removed
the check for VERSION_MAGIC, since IMHO, it was just useless to force
the daemon to be built at the same time as the kernel modules.
The third patch is simply a fixed version of Patch5000: 
linux-2.4.9-addon.patch
The fourth patch is simply a fixed version of Patch10010:
linux-2.4.1-compilefailure.patch.

All these patches obsolete the pre-existant core cipe patches in the RHL
kernel tree (Patch5190-5193). Config files will need to be updated to
point to CONFIG_CIPE3 and CONFIG_CIPE4 instead of CONFIG_CIPE.

This is also attached to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=68066.
