You forgot to describe the point of this patchset and what its use case is.
Like any other Linux kernel patchset, that needs to be in the cover letter.

Thanks Eric for pointing this missing part.
This feature provides akcipher service offloading capability. QEMU side
handles asymmetric requests via virtio-crypto devices from guest side,
do encrypt/decrypt/sign/verify operations on host side, and return the
result to guest.
This patchset implements a RSA backend by hogweed from nettle, it works
together with guest patch:
