>> In crypto adapter metadata, reserved bytes in request info structure is

>> the structures are updated using memcpy to avoid overwriting response
>> info. It is logical to move the reserved space out of request info. It
>> also solves the ordering issue mentioned before.

>> This patch removes the reserve field from request info and makes event
>> crypto metadata type to structure from union to make space for response
>> info.
>>
>> App and drivers are updated as per metadata change.
