The networking updates from David Miller removed the iocb argument from
sendmsg and recvmsg (in commit 1b784140474e: "net: Remove iocb argument
from sendmsg and recvmsg"), but the crypto code had added new instances
of them.
When I pulled the crypto update, it was a silent semantic mis-merge, and
I overlooked the new warning messages in my test-build. I try to fix
those in the merge itself, but that relies on me noticing. Oh well.

This patch adds the AEAD support for AF_ALG.
The implementation is based on algif_skcipher, but contains heavy
modifications to streamline the interface for AEAD uses.
To use AEAD, the user space consumer has to use the salg_type named
"aead".
The AEAD implementation includes some overhead to calculate the size of
the ciphertext, because the AEAD implementation of the kernel crypto API
makes implied assumption on the location of the authentication tag. When
performing an encryption, the tag will be added to the created
ciphertext (note, the tag is placed adjacent to the ciphertext). For
decryption, the caller must hand in the ciphertext with the tag appended
to the ciphertext. Therefore, the selection of the used memory
needs to add/subtract the tag size from the source/destination buffers
depending on the encryption type. The code is provided with comments
explaining when and how that operation is performed.
A fully working example using all aspects of AEAD is provided at
