Acrypto hacking day.

Added direct completion mode.
If session's callback can be invoked in any context or if crypto provider can call complete_session() from process context, one can set SESSION_DIRECT in session flags which will lead to callback invocation directly from complete_session(), but not from workqueue.
This increases performance noticebly.
Ok, here are dm-crypt port changes:

  • Reduced memory usage.
  • Use memory pools.
  • Removed several race conditions.
  • Code simplification.

New acrypto package has been released. It does not have priority queues yet, but I will implement them soon.
Patches and tarball are available in archive.
