Illumos Crypto Port module added to enable native encryption in zfs
A port of the Illumos Crypto Framework to a Linux kernel module (found in module/icp). This is needed to do the actual encryption work. We cannot use the Linux kernel's built in crypto api because it is only exported to GPL-licensed modules. Having the ICP also means the crypto code can run on any of the other kernels under OpenZFS. I ended up porting over most of the internals of the framework, which means that porting over other API calls (if we need them) should be fairly easy. Specifically, I have ported over the API functions related to encryption, digests, macs, and crypto templates. The ICP is able to use assembly-accelerated encryption on amd64 machines and AES-NI instructions on Intel chips that support it. There are place-holder directories for similar assembly optimizations for other architectures (although they have not been written).

+/*
+ * Changes made to the original Illumos Crypto Layer for the ICP:
+ *
+ * Several changes were needed to allow the Illumos Crypto Layer
+ * to work in the Linux kernel. Almost all of the changes fall into
+ * one of the following categories:
+ *
+ * 1) Moving the syntax to the C90: This was mostly a matter of
+ * changing func() definitions to func(void). In a few cases,
+ * initializations of structs with unions needed to have brackets
+ * added.
+ *
+ * 2) Changes to allow userspace compilation: The ICP is meant to be
+ * compiled and used in both userspace and kernel space (for ztest and
+ * libzfs), so the _KERNEL macros did not make sense anymore. For the
+ * same reason, many header includes were also changed to use
+ * sys/zfs_context.h
+ *
+ * 3) Moving to a statically compiled architecture: At some point in
+ * the future it may make sense to have encryption algorithms that are
+ * loadable into the ICP at runtime via separate kernel modules.
+ * However, considering that this code will probably not see much use
+ * outside of zfs and zfs encryption only requires aes and sha256
+ * algorithms it seemed like more trouble than it was worth to port over
+ * Illumos's kernel module structure to a Linux kernel module. In
+ * addition, The Illumos code related to keeping track of kernel modules
+ * is very much tied to the Illumos OS and proved difficult to port to
+ * Linux. Therefore, the structure of the ICP was simplified to work
+ * statically and several pieces of code responsible for keeping track
+ * of Illumos kernel modules were removed and simplified. All module
+ * initialization and destruction is now called in this file during
+ * Linux kernel module loading and unloading.
+ *
+ * 4) Adding destructors: The Illumos Crypto Layer is built into
+ * the Illumos kernel and is not meant to be unloaded. Some destructors
+ * were added to allow the ICP to be unloaded without leaking
+ * structures.
+ *
+ * 5) Removing CRYPTO_DATA_MBLK related structures and code:
+ * crypto_data_t can have 3 formats, CRYPTO_DATA_RAW, CRYPTO_DATA_UIO,
+ * and CRYPTO_DATA_MBLK. ZFS only requires the first 2 formats, as the
+ * last one is related to streamed data. To simplify the port, code
+ * related to this format was removed.
+ *
+ * 6) Changes for architecture specific code: Some changes were needed
+ * to make architecture specific assembly compile. The biggest change
+ * here was to functions related to detecting CPU capabilities for amd64.
+ * The Illumos Crypto Layer used called into the Illumos kernel's API
+ * to discover these. They have been converted to instead use the
+ * 'cpuid' instruction as per the Intel spec. In addition, references to
+ * the sun4u' and sparc architectures have been removed so that these
+ * will use the generic implementation.
+ *
+ * 7) Removing sha384 and sha512 code: The sha code was actually very
+ * wasy to port. However, the generic sha384 and sha512 code actually
+ * exceeds the stack size on arm and powerpc architectures. In an effort
+ * to remove warnings, this code was removed.
+ *
+ * 8) Change large allocations from kmem_alloc() to vmem_alloc(): In
+ * testing the ICP with the ZFS encryption code, a few allocations were
+ * found that could potentially be very large. These caused the SPL to
+ * throw warnings and so they were changed to use vmem_alloc().
+ *
+ * 9) Makefiles: Makefiles were added that would work with the existing
+ * ZFS Makefiles.
