Bug Description

Description: Enable KVM guests to use the virtio-crypto device to perform all crypto algorithms provided by the hypervisor crypto backend. This is done by implementing a handshake between the guest driver and host backend.

Business Value: Increased flexibility by decoupling guest and host virtio-crypto capabilities and better compatibility between guest and host in the case of software upgrades.

kernel 4.19:
C: crypto: virtio - Read crypto services and algorithm masks [b551bac14a]
C: crypto: virtio - Register an algo only if it's supported [d0d859bb87]

I verified that these two patches landed in the current 4.19 kernel of disco (in release pocket now) - hence changing ticket to Fix Released.
