Hi Dan,

The async_tx api tries to use a dma engine for an operation, but will fall
back to an optimized software routine otherwise.  Xor support is
implemented using the raid5 xor routines.  For organizational purposes this
routine is moved to a common area.

This isn't quite crypto code and isn't connected to or through the cryptoapi
(at least not in this patchset), so I somehow find it misplaced in the crypto/
directory. If all its users are in drivers/md/ then that would be a
better place.
If it is something kernel-global, lib/ sounds more appropriate?
