I don't like this bit either. Sebastian, how about precomputing the IV and provide them directly as a hex array? To test arc4_setup_iv itself, you can add an alg_test_arc4 function (like alg_test_crc32) that tests IV generation specifically. Alternatively, just add an alg_test_arc4 that computes the IV before calling alg_test_skcipher.
