-    which are asynchronous equivalents of request_key() and
-    request_key_with_auxdata() respectively.
-
-    These two functions return with the key potentially still under
-    construction.  To wait for construction completion, the following should be
-    called::
-
-	int wait_for_key_construction(struct key *key, bool intr);
-
-    The function will wait for the key to finish being constructed and then
-    invokes key_validate() to return an appropriate value to indicate the state
-    of the key (0 indicates the key is usable).
-
-    If intr is true, then the wait can be interrupted by a signal, in which
-    case error ERESTARTSYS will be returned.
