Most of the crypto library calls use "unsigned int". Obviously didn't
quite get everything else. Will look again. thanks.

Don't have the length, but getting it once and then using strchr/memchr,
should work. thanks.

not sure, will check.

datablob_format() could be split up into formatting the string returned
to userspace and copying it userspace, releasing the lock before copying
it, but that wouldn't resolve the other places it may sleep, like alloc.

thanks, will do.

ok
