AEAD requires the following data in addition to normal symmetric
ciphers:
* Associated authentication data of arbitrary length
* Authentication tag for decryption
* Length of authentication tag for encryption
The authentication tag data is communicated as part of the actual
ciphertext as mandated by the kernel crypto API. Therefore we only need
to provide a user space interface for the associated authentication data
as well as for the authentication tag length.
This patch adds both as a setsockopt interface that is identical to the
AF_ALG interface for setting an IV and for selecting the cipher
operation type (encrypt or decrypt).
