Acrypto hacking.

I've run several acrypto IPsec benchmarks, and pleased to present my results:

	2.6.16-1.2069_FC4smp -> vanilla 2.6.16-git: ~11.8 MB/s
	vanilla 2.6.16-git -> 2.6.16-1.2069_FC4smp: ~13.2 MB/s

	2.6.16-1.2069_FC4smp -> acrypto 2.6.16: ~12.6 MB/s
	acrypto 2.6.16 -> 2.6.16-1.2069_FC4smp: ~13.5 MB/s
And the more CPUs or hardware accelerators you have, the more you will win from acrypto setup, since it was designed with scalability and fully asynchronous processing in mind.

But it is done without IV update patch, after it is applied performance dropped in 6 times, so you should not use acrypto-combined-2.6.16.diff.2 and acrypto-combined-2.6.15.diff.3 for a while, so I removed them from archive.
