Except me, I think...
That code was used for OCF dm-crypt port some time ago (I recall it was
Marvell), so the whole base is not limited by acrypto only.

pointing exact names naturally. I agree that it does not sound very
strong, but actually I'm not going to convince someone, I just establish
a fact.
