I have done that, but as indicated with an email to Al, I cannot get his
patch for skcipher and hash to work. Similarly, my modification for the
AEAD does not work either. So, I do not see that Al's patch can be
merged as is.

Therefore, I have not submitted my patch as Al mentioned he wanted to
look into his patchset.
