[PATCH] crypto: Remove pointless padlock module

From: Simon Arlott
Date: Sat Apr 28 2007 - 19:40:51 EST


When this is compiled in it is run too early to do anything useful:
[ 6.052000] padlock: No VIA PadLock drivers have been loaded.
[ 6.052000] padlock: Using VIA PadLock ACE for AES algorithm.
[ 6.052000] padlock: Using VIA PadLock ACE for SHA1/SHA256 algorithms.

When it's a module it isn't doing anything special, the same functionality can be provided in userspace by "probeall padlock padlock-aes padlock-sha" in modules.conf if it is required.

The instructions are used only when the CPU supports them.
Otherwise software encryption is used.

- Selecting M for this option will compile a helper module
