What if some other user called the blkcipher interface in an atomic context? You can't guarantee that your algorithm is only picked up through the ablkcipher interface, unless of course you do something like __driver-ctr-aes-aesni.
Hmm I was just looking at the sha_mb code and something doesn't look right. For instance, can sha1_mb_update ever return -EINPROGRESS? This would be wrong as it's registered as an shash algorithm.
