Sam Leffler 6810ad6f2a Overhaul driver/subsystem api's:
o make all crypto drivers have a device_t; pseudo drivers like the s/w
  crypto driver synthesize one
o change the api between the crypto subsystem and drivers to use kobj;
  cryptodev_if.m defines this api
o use the fact that all crypto drivers now have a device_t to add support
  for specifying which of several potential devices to use when doing
  crypto operations
o add new ioctls that allow user apps to select a specific crypto device
  to use (previous ioctls maintained for compatibility)
o overhaul crypto subsystem code to eliminate lots of cruft and hide
  implementation details from drivers
o bring in numerous fixes from Michale Richardson/hifn; mostly for
  795x parts
o add an optional mechanism for mmap'ing the hifn 795x public key h/w
  to user space for use by openssl (not enabled by default)
o update crypto test tools to use new ioctl's and add cmd line options
  to specify a device to use for tests

These changes will also enable much future work on improving the core
crypto subsystem; including proper load balancing and interposing code
between the core and drivers to dispatch small operations to the s/w
driver as appropriate.

These changes were instigated by the work of Michael Richardson.
