[PATCH 0/2] block/crypto: do not require number of threads upfront

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

The block layer does not know how many threads will perform I/O. It is possible
to exceed the number of threads that is given to qcrypto_block_open() and this
can trigger an assertion failure in qcrypto_block_pop_cipher().

This patch series removes the n_threads argument and instead handles an
arbitrary number of threads.

Is it secure to store the key in QCryptoBlock? In this series I assumed the
answer is yes since the QCryptoBlock's cipher state is equally sensitive, but
I'm not familiar with this code or a crypto expert.
