+/**
+ * struct ahash_alg - asynchronous message digest definition
+ * @init: Initialize the transformation context. Intended only to initialize the
+ * state of the HASH transformation at the begining. This shall fill in
+ * the internal structures used during the entire duration of the whole
+ * transformation. No data processing happens at this point.
+ * @update: Push a chunk of data into the driver for transformation. This
+ * function actually pushes blocks of data from upper layers into the
+ * driver, which then passes those to the hardware as seen fit. This
+ * function must not finalize the HASH transformation by calculating the
+ * final message digest as this only adds more data into the
+ * transformation. This function shall not modify the transformation
+ * context, as this function may be called in parallel with the same
+ * transformation object. Data processing can happen synchronously
+ * [SHASH] or asynchronously [AHASH] at this point.
+ * @final: Retrieve result from the driver. This function finalizes the
+ * transformation and retrieves the resulting hash from the driver and
+ * pushes it back to upper layers. No data processing happens at this
+ * point.
+ * @finup: Combination of @update and @final. This function is effectively a
+ * combination of @update and @final calls issued in sequence. As some
+ * hardware cannot do @update and @final separately, this callback was
+ * added to allow such hardware to be used at least by IPsec. Data
+ * processing can happen synchronously [SHASH] or asynchronously [AHASH]
+ * at this point.
+ * @digest: Combination of @init and @update and @final. This function
+ * effectively behaves as the entire chain of operations, @init,
+ * @update and @final issued in sequence. Just like @finup, this was
+ * added for hardware which cannot do even the @finup, but can only do
+ * the whole transformation in one run. Data processing can happen
+ * synchronously [SHASH] or asynchronously [AHASH] at this point.
+ * @setkey: Set optional key used by the hashing algorithm. Intended to push
+ * optional key used by the hashing algorithm from upper layers into
+ * the driver. This function can store the key in the transformation
+ * context or can outright program it into the hardware. In the former
+ * case, one must be careful to program the key into the hardware at
+ * appropriate time and one must be careful that .setkey() can be
+ * called multiple times during the existence of the transformation
+ * object. Not all hashing algorithms do implement this function as it
+ * is only needed for keyed message digests. SHAx/MDx/CRCx do NOT
+ * implement this function. HMAC(MDx)/HMAC(SHAx)/CMAC(AES) do implement
+ * this function. This function must be called before any other of the
+ * @init, @update, @final, @finup, @digest is called. No data
+ * processing happens at this point.
+ * @export: Export partial state of the transformation. This function dumps the
+ * entire state of the ongoing transformation into a provided block of
+ * data so it can be @import 'ed back later on. This is useful in case
+ * you want to save partial result of the transformation after
+ * processing certain amount of data and reload this partial result
+ * multiple times later on for multiple re-use. No data processing
+ * happens at this point.
+ * @import: Import partial state of the transformation. This function loads the
+ * entire state of the ongoing transformation from a provided block of
+ * data so the transformation can continue from this point onward. No
+ * data processing happens at this point.
