[RFC PATCH 00/11] nvme: In-band authentication support

Hi all,

recent updates to the NVMe spec have added definitions for in-band
authentication, and seeing that it provides some real benefit especially
for NVMe-TCP here's an attempt to implement it.

Tricky bit here is that the specification orients itself on TLS 1.3,
but supports only the FFDHE groups. Which of course the kernel doesn't
support. I've been able to come up with a patch for this, but as this
is my first attempt to fix anything in the crypto area I would invite
people more familiar with these matters to have a look.

Also note that this is just for in-band authentication. Secure concatenation
(ie starting TLS with the negotiated parameters) is not implemented; one would
need to update the kernel TLS implementation for this, which at this time is
beyond scope.

As usual, comments and reviews are welcome.
