Do you have any estimate of the expected gains for hardware
implementations?

Would it make sense to try out implementing aes-cbc-essiv
on the ARMv8 crypto extensions? I see that Ard has done
some prior work on aes-ccm in arch/arm64/crypto/aes-ce-ccm-*
that (AFAICT) has a similar goal of avoiding overhead by
combining the usual operations, so maybe the same can
be done here.
