But it's exactly the interface that would tie us down to OCF.
For instance, we use strings to locate algor
Hi,
We here would like to create an user space interface that can be

Option #1:
1. Use file descriptor named '/dev/crypto' or use syscall
2. Each opened file creates a new 'crypto' context that represents a
