The history behind this is that the crypto layer has used chaining
way before generic chaining was invented.  When the generic code
was added I tried to convert crypto over to that, however, that
failed because generic chaining was not ported to every architecture.

So that's why the crypto layer still retains its own chaining.

I suppose we should ask Jens whether he thinks this is worth adding
an interface over?
