Official cryptoapi? Define official.

kerneli.org/cryptoapi _is_ useless joke for many needs. Fortunately other people are able to see the limitations/sillyness of kerneli.org/cryptoapi:
1) You are trying to replace link/insmod time overhead with runtime overhead + unnecessary bloat. 2) No direct link access to low level cipher functions or higher level functions. 3) No clean way to replace cipher code with processor type optimized assembler implementations.
