Hi,
I'd like to commit the following two patches, removing a lot of "bloat":
https://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~mneumann/0001-crypto-remove-dev-crypto-pseudo-device.patch
https://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~mneumann/0002-opencrypto-remove-in-kernel-crypto-9-framework.patch
The first patch removes /dev/crypto. It is no longer used by any
DragonFly application in our source tree. Libraries like OpenSSL ship
with their own crypto implementations for ages. OpenBSD removed
/dev/crypto about 10 years ago.
The second patch removes the "opencrypto" crypto(9) in-kernel crypto
framework. It's not used by any subsystem of the kernel anymore.
Feel free to comment or ask questions.
Regards,
Michael
