This totally breaks Tadeusz Struk's attempt at making an AIO
interface for algif_skcipher:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/5971491/
Now granted nothing in the network stack ever supported AIO so
maybe this is a bad idea anyway. But I guess it's a good time
and place to discuss what alternatives are available for Tadeus
to export his crypto hardware using an asynchronous interface
to user-space?
Cheers,
