Currently, our generic ChaCha implementation consists of a permute function in lib/chacha.c that operates on the 64-byte ChaCha state directly [and which is always included into the core kernel since it is used by the /dev/random driver], and the crypto API plumbing to expose it as a skcipher. In order to support in-kernel users that need the ChaCha streamcipher but have no need [or tolerance] for going through the abstractions of the crypto API, let's expose the streamcipher bits via a library API as well, in a way that permits the implementation to be superseded by an architecture specific one if provided. So move the streamcipher code into a separate module in lib/crypto, and expose the init() and crypt() routines to users of the library.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
