Hi: This series attempts to phase out the recently introduced seqniv generator. The reason is that the logic of seqniv should not be implemented at the IV generator layer. Having the IV skipping logic in seqniv means that you cannot perform encryption without doing IV generation. In fact moving the IV skipping logic out of seqniv and into the underlying rfcXXXX (e.g., rfc4106) template allows optimisations to be made as the underlying code can often skip the IV in a more efficient manner. Unfortunately we've already begun the conversion process so this series adds a new flag CRYPTO_ALG_AEAD_NEW to indicate whether a given algorithm has been converted to the new interface where IV skipping is done outside of the IV generator. This flag can be removed once the conversion is complete.
