I have a patch to make these depend on !VMAP_STACK.

According to Herbert, these are fine. I'm personally less convinced
since I'm very confused as to what "async" means in the crypto code,
but I'm going to leave these alone.
I went back through the code, and AFAICT every argument to sg_init_one() in
the above-cited files is a buffer that is part of the request context. Which
is allocated by the crypto framework, and therefore will never be on the
stack.
Right?
I don't (as yet) see a need for any patch to these. Someone correct me
if I'm
missing something.
