Re: [Q] merging mainline kernel

You mean the mainline kernel shuold reside outside of U.S like OpenBSD :-) ?

I'm not familiar with the limitations on crypto exports of U.S.
but I think at least CryptoAPI scheme existing inside the mainline kernel
is useful for kernel developers who want to use cryptoapi.
(e.g. abstraction layer: cryptoapi.c crypto.h)
