Can you please pull this into mm-tree? This used to have 3 patches.

3/3 was separated according to Herbert's requirements and has
been in a crypto tree.
crypto: scomp - remove memcpy if sg_nents is 1 and pages are lowmem
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/herbert/cryptodev-2.6.git/commit/?id=77292bb8ca

Two drivers fixes(patch 1 needs) have also been in crypto tree:
crypto: hisilicon/zip - fix the missing CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC in cra_flags
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/herbert/cryptodev-2.6.git/commit/?id=db8ac88385

crypto: iaa - fix the missing CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC in cra_flags
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/herbert/cryptodev-2.6.git/commit/?id=30dd94dba35

So it should be quite safe to pull this series into mm-tree now.
