Need to also select CRYPTO_CTR in drivers/net/wireless/cisco/Kconfig under
AIRO_CS, and I think also CRYPTO_BLKCIPHER under AIRO.

You could alternatively call be32_to_cpu_array() after the AES encryption.
But this works too.

Should add:

	BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(context->coeff) > PAGE_SIZE);

Or alternatively, instead of using ZERO_PAGE, just memset() the buffer to zero
and encrypt it in-place.  That would be less fragile.

Otherwise this patch looks correct to me.

The actual crypto in this driver, on the other hand, looks very outdated and
broken.  Apparently it's implementing some Cisco proprietary extension to WEP
that uses a universal hashing based MAC, where the hash key is generated from
AES-CTR.  But the MAC is only 32 bits, and the universal hash (MMH) is
implemented incorrectly: there's an off-by-one error in emmh32_final() in the
code that is supposed to be an optimized version of 'sum % ((1ULL << 32) + 15)'.

Do we know whether anyone is actually using this, or is this just another old
driver that's sitting around unused?
