This is a major feature and bugfix release.

OCF support has been updated to fully support multiple cores on SMP
machines, giving a significant crypto speed improvement. We have seen
numbers of over 2Gbps on an 8-core Xeon machine. Thanks to David
McCullough for his work on OCF. Note that this requires updates to
the latest released OCF code at this point until David releases a new
OCF. See the openswan site for the OCF patches.

Thanks as well to Hugh Redelmeier and Tuomo Soini for extensively testing
with Electric Fence and LEAK_DETECTIVE. We fixed a few rare and hard bugs.

Further bugs fixs with DPD, NAT-T detection, NOMMU support and MAST/SAref.

Finally, for those building openswan on openbsd to avoid any rumoured "backdoor",
please be reminded that openswan on BSD uses the native BSD kernel code, so it
won't actually help you :)

The full change set for this release follows below.

v2.6.32

* OCF: Change some hardcoded variables to module paramters [David]
   -ipsec_ocf_batch(1): Make OCF queue packets rather than process immediately
   -ipsec_ocf_cbimm(1): Does OCF immediately (ie., at irq time) run callbacks
                    or queue and call later"
   -ipsec_ixs_cache_allocated_max(1000):
* OCF: Fix up usage of crp_olen as returned from ocf [David]
* OCF: Order algs correctly for processing when mixing AUTH/CIPHER algs [David]
* OCF: Update to OCF for SMP systems to allow using multiple CPU's [David]
* OCF: Added /proc/net/ipsec/ocf to indicate if we support OCF or not [Paul]

* Fix bad memory read with -lefence in osw_alias_cmp() [Dhr]
* Fix for STF_INLINE case in quick_inI1_outR1_cryptocontinue1() [Dhr]
