Why This File Exists
Shared kernel service surface used by multiple subsystems, including helpers, cryptography, virtualization support, and async I/O infrastructure.

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `crypto/utils.h`, `linux/export.h`, `linux/module.h`, `linux/unaligned.h`.
- Detected declarations: `function crypto_xor`, `export __crypto_xor`.
- Atlas domain: Kernel Services / lib.
- Implementation status: integration implementation candidate.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
