Ok I have added the following to the md-accel-linus git series. Note
the patch is outlook damaged.

xor: make 'xor_blocks' a library routine for use with async_tx

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>

* move drivers/md/xor.c => crypto/xor.c
* rename xor_block => xor_blocks, suggested by Adrian Bunk
* ensure that xor.o initializes before md.o in the built-in case
