Introduce a new flag parameter for the both cprb send functions
zcrypt_send_cprb() and zcrypt_send_ep11_cprb(). This new
xflags parameter ("execution flags") shall be used to provide
execution hints and flags for this crypto request.
There are two flags implemented to be used with these functions:
* ZCRYPT_XFLAG_USERSPACE - indicates to the lower layers that
all the ptrs address userspace. So when construction the ap msg
copy_from_user() is to be used. If this flag is NOT set, the ptrs
address kernel memory and thus memcpy() is to be used.
* ZCRYPT_XFLAG_NOMEMALLOC - indicates that this task must not
allocate memory which may be allocated with io operations.
For the AP bus and zcrypt message layer this means:
* The ZCRYPT_XFLAG_USERSPACE is mapped to the already existing
bool variable "userspace" which is propagated to the zcrypt
proto implementations.
* The ZCRYPT_XFLAG_NOMEMALLOC results in setting the AP flag
AP_MSG_FLAG_MEMPOOL when the AP msg buffer is initialized.

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 reStructuredText 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.
