[CRYPTO] salsa20: Salsa20 stream cipher
This patch implements the Salsa20 stream cipher using the blkcipher interface.

The core cipher code comes from Daniel Bernstein's submission to eSTREAM:
  http://www.ecrypt.eu.org/stream/svn/viewcvs.cgi/ecrypt/trunk/submissions/salsa20/full/ref/

The test vectors comes from:
  http://www.ecrypt.eu.org/stream/svn/viewcvs.cgi/ecrypt/trunk/submissions/salsa20/full/

It has been tested successfully with "modprobe tcrypt mode=34" on an
UML instance.
