Hello Herbert, This patchset started in order to verify broken Geode driver [1] without the actual hardware. [2] contains a version of the geode-aes driver where the hardware routines are replaced with software because I assume that the hardware is actually working (and this is the closest I get). I came to the conclusion that the driver should work (I was able to mkfs,cp, sha1 files on the crypto partition).
This patch set contains a small "clean up" of the driver and a fallback mode for keysize != 128. Hebert, if you like this way of fallback (patch 5) than I would try to hook the s390 driver with something similar. This way of fallback allocates a "fully working" driver within the actual driver. Therefore if we request cbc(aes) with 192 bit key, than we have 1 fallback blkcipher and 1 fallback cipher (due to the chaining nature of the crypto API).
