Another option is to backport the new interface to the older kernel.

You only need something like

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/6452601/

for the older kernel to support the new interface along with the
old interface.

Note that this patch itself won't be good enough because I have since
removed cryptoff.  But it illustrates the amount of code you need.
