Following the example of the crc32, crc32c, and chacha code, make the crypto subsystem register both generic and architecture-optimized poly1305 shash algorithms, both implemented on top of the appropriate library functions. This eliminates the need for every architecture to implement the same shash glue code. Note that the poly1305 shash requires that the key be prepended to the data, which differs from the library functions where the key is simply a parameter to poly1305_init(). Previously this was handled at a fairly low level, polluting the library code with shash-specific code. Reorganize things so that the shash code handles this quirk itself. Also, to register the architecture-optimized shashes only when architecture-optimized code is actually being used, add a function poly1305_is_arch_optimized() and make each arch implement it. Change each architecture's Poly1305 module_init function to arch_initcall so that the CPU feature detection is guaranteed to run before poly1305_is_arch_optimized() gets called by crypto/poly1305.c. (In cases where poly1305_is_arch_optimized() just returns true unconditionally, using arch_initcall is not strictly needed, but it's still good to be consistent across architectures.)

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.
