I see. How about if we let tcrypt test algorithms by name, e.g.,
something like
modprobe tcrypt alg='pcrypt(authenc(hmac(sha1),cbc(aes))'
which would simply call crypto_has_alg on the string alg?
That should instantiate alg, and test it too if there are vectors.
This is a new interface too, but at least it pretends to be
generic :)
