Just to clarify, we use this from userspace.  So we _already_ depend

How can you be depending on this in userspace when we haven't
even exported akcipher to userspace? Colour me confused.


We live on the bleeding edge :)

I realize that these features are not upstream yet, but that doesn't mean that we can't influence / see the direction that the kernel is taking and act accordingly.

We'd like to have both pkcs1pad + hash, and simple pkcs1pad go upstream. That will make our job in userspace much easier. Andrew submitted pkcs1pad transform to the kernel specifically so we could get rid of this logic in our userspace code. So please consider leaving both versions for upstream inclusion.
