From: Reyk Floeter <reyk@vantronix.net>

I recently had the requirement to do some benchmarking on cryptoapi, and
I found reyk's very useful performance test patch [1].

However, I could not find any discussion on why that extension (or
something providing a similar feature but different implementation) was
not merged into mainline.  If there was such a discussion, can someone
please point me to the archive[s]?

I've now merged the old patch into 2.6.12-rc1, the result can be found
attached to this email.

It seems that bad code tends to get copied (see test_cipher_speed).  So let's
kill this idiom before it spreads any further.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
