Sorry to ruin the fun, but actually there are no Poly1305 implementations in
CRYPTOGAMS (https://github.com/dot-asm/cryptogams). Nor are there any ChaCha20
implementations.

Andy P., can you please add your Poly1305 and ChaCha20 implementations to the
CRYPTOGAMS repository, so that they have a clear kernel-compatible license?

It would be great if you'd include a kernel-compatible license directly in the
versions in the OpenSSL tree too...

Thanks!
