The rest of this series all look good.

I really hate this bit though. I know that you're doing the same
thing in sha-mb but relying on blkcipher_desc to contain extra
data given by the caller is not nice.
So the issue here seems to be that you're using the blkcipher
interface which has no completion mechanism. What if you used
ablkcipher here instead, would you still need to play nasty games
such as
this?
Thanks,
