Is it your aim to kill off the crypto/ dir and all the (old) crypto API?

Someone (not me) thought it worthwhile removing the akcipher algorithms out of
crypto/asymmetric_keys/ and interfacing to them inside crypto_akcipher and
crypto_sig.

Anyway, I'll continue using crypto_sig as that provides module autoload
capabilities - meaning we don't have to build all the algorithms into the base
kernel.
