Subject[PATCH 2/4] crypto: Introduce some helper functions to help to merge requests
Date
Usually the dm-crypt subsystem will send encryption/descryption requests to
the crypto layer one block at a time, making each request 512 bytes long,
which is a much smaller size for hardware engine, that means the hardware
engine can not play its best performance.

Now some cipher hardware engines prefer to handle bulk block rather than one
sector (512 bytes) created by dm-crypt, cause these cipher engines can handle
the intermediate values (IV) by themselves in one bulk block. This means we
can increase the size of the request by merging request rather than always 512
bytes and thus increase the hardware engine processing speed.

This patch introduces some helper functions to help to merge requests to improve
hardware engine efficiency.
