Somewhat incredibly, it works perfectly.
First I tried the instructions you noted, and things worked, both for big files and small ones.
Then I modified the source to print to dmesg the data buffer and the key before and after the encryption/decryption function. I verified with a small python script that indeed standard aes-gcm is being used successfully.
Thus, pending Ted's approval of the new random API, this patch should be ready for merging.
Regards, Jason
