Title:
[22.04 FEAT] In-kernel crypto: SIMD implementation of chacha20

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
Fix Released
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released

Bug description:
Recent kernel releases provide support for the chacha20 cipher and among others use it to compute pseudo random numbers for /dev/urandom.
Chacha20 is a type of algorithm that can be accelerated using SIMD instructions. The goal of this item is to use z System SIMD instruction to implement chacha20.

Will be made available earliest for kernel >=5.6. Mean, request for
integration if backport is possible for 20.04
