    crypto: skcipher - remove remnants of internal IV generators · c79b411e
    Eric Biggers authored
    Remove dead code related to internal IV generators, which are no longer
    used since they've been replaced with the "seqiv" and "echainiv"
    templates.  The removed code includes:
    
    - The "givcipher" (GIVCIPHER) algorithm type.  No algorithms are
      registered with this type anymore, so it's unneeded.
    
    - The "const char *geniv" member of aead_alg, ablkcipher_alg, and
      blkcipher_alg.  A few algorithms still set this, but it isn't used
      anymore except to show via /proc/crypto and CRYPTO_MSG_GETALG.
      Just hardcode "<default>" or "<none>" in those cases.
    
    - The 'skcipher_givcrypt_request' structure, which is never used.
