Now some cipher hardware engines prefer to handle bulk block by merging
requests to increase the block size and thus increase the hardware engine
processing speed.
This patch introduces request bulk mode to help the crypto hardware drivers
improve in efficiency, and chooses the suitable mode (SECTOR_MODE) for
initializing aes engine.
