Actually I was thinking of something as simple as just using cryptd as is. That is, register a blkcipher algorithm for your version of cbc-aes, but don't register under the name cbc(aes), e.g., register it under the name of __cbc-aes-aesni for both alg name and driver name. You can register it under cbc(aes) too if you add the fallback in there. Then for the real thing, just allocate the blkcipher __cbc_*, plus the ablkcipher cryptd(__cbc_*), and invoke the right one depending on caller context. This is even simpler for the modes which you don't implement. In that case you would just allocate FOO(aes-aesni) in conjunction with cryptd(FOO(aes-aesni)).
