In that case we should extend af_alg to support akcipher algorithms.

Having every crypto driver make up its own user-space PKI interface
is not scalable.

I held back on adding akcipher to af_alg because it would lead to
the freezing of our akcipher API.  But it's time to do this.

Being the first user of such an interface, could you please post
your OpenSSL patches as well so that we can look at what's actually
needed?

Thanks,
