Hi Eric,

(cc Catalin)

I have prepared a branch for libcrypto-next containing all the arm64 FP/SIMD
changes that are needed to move the kernel mode FP/SIMD buffers to the stack.

I have created two stable tags [a] and [b] in my tree at [0], containing the
changes as sent to and reviewed on the list, reordered to accommodate the task
of merging this into libcrypto-next in a bisectable manner.

  [a] scoped-ksimd-for-arm-arm64
  [b] arm64-fpsimd-on-stack-for-v6.19
  
On top of [a], two additional lib/crypto patches have been applied to update
code that has already been queued up in libcrypto-next, moving it to the new
scoped ksimd API as well. This is better than hiding the changes in a merge
commit. The merge still resulted in a conflict on the old versions of the files
that were moved, but this is resolved by simply deleting them.

Please pull. Or alternatively, if you prefer, recreate the following sequence
directly on top of libcrypto-next (and resolve the conflict)

      Merge tag 'ardb/scoped-ksimd-for-arm-arm64'
      lib/crypto: arm/blake2b: Move to scoped ksimd API
      lib/crypto: arm64: Move remaining algorithms to scoped ksimd API
      Merge tag 'arm64-fpsimd-on-stack-for-v6.19' into arm64-fpsimd-on-stack-for-libcrypto

The following changes since commit f101371e1972df3d897bf2326eda3c28aca2e58c:
