Hi Herbert,
Sorry for the delayed response, I was busy with testing dm-crypt
with bonnie++ for regressions. I tried to find some alternative
way to keep the IV algorithms' registration in the dm-crypt.
Also there were some changes done in dm-crypt keys structure too
recently.

In some cases, SIMD algorithms can only perform optimally when
allowed to operate on multiple input blocks in parallel. This is
especially true for bit slicing algorithms, which typically take
the same amount of time processing a single block or 8 blocks in
parallel. However, other SIMD algorithms
