[PATCH] virtio-crypto: adjust priority of algorithm

[PATCH] virtio-crypto: adjust priority of algorithm

[Gonglei]

Some hardware accelerators (like intel aseni or the s390
cpacf functions) have lower priorities than virtio
crypto, and those drivers are faster than the same in
the host via virtio. So let's lower the priority of
virtio-crypto's algorithm, make it's higher than sofeware
implimentations but lower than the hardware ones.

ACK. Whoever takes this patch might want to fixup 3 typos.

Thanks, I'd better send v2 IMHO.  :)
