gcloop-2.6 : Cryptoloop compressor extension (compressloop)

gcloop is currently implement as a loopback cryptoapi extension in a way
quite similar to the cryptoloop present in the 2.6 and hopefully they will
merge to a point.

The current patch applies cleanly to the 2.6.0 linux sources:
Eg:
	cd /usr/src/linux
	patch -p1 <gcloop-2.6-20031220.patch

The ucl kernel module uses the ucl lib so you have to have ucl installed in 
order to build the needed cryptoloop compressor module, if someone wants to
kernelify ucl the same way zlib is now please tell me.

You have to make menuconfig in order to enable the ucl nrv2e cryptoapi module,
the loopback module, the cryptocloop module and the compressloop module.

Currently cryptoloop and compressloop are separated modules and you can just 
load one of them a time even if you have to build both, I'll address the issue
soon.
