No, async_xxx is very different hardware assist, although it can be
converted to cryptoapi too.

This is some kind of how cbc(cipher) or ecb(cipher) templates are done:
cbc(aes), cbc(aes-i686) for example.
The same would be possible to do with crc32c but for checksumming (which
is effectively a hash).
