It's somewhat nicer to just use size_t in the kernel for these sorts
of data types. If you care about the exact number of bytes used by the
variable, types like u32 make the code more parsable.

It's also nice to have printk's along error paths. Syslogs down the
road tend to be less cryptic.

I have never been particularly thrilled about the the string-based
method of parameterizing block ciphers for in-kernel API calls.
