This looks like the test vector #2 for cbc enc.

Are you using the in kernel module or your own?
Which kernel version do you use?

>Where is the problem?
Try to run the tcrypt module for testing. 
 modprobe tcrypt mode=10
will test _all_ aes variants, you can ignore them all except the cbc
part.

No. That one should only walk through the scatterlist and ensures
alignment that is required.

Take a look on tcrypt.c. That one is pretty easy. ipsec uses the
asynchronous interface.
