I don't mean that I'm using no temporary buffers at all, just
that the actual crypto only operates on the SG lists.  I'm still
doing the xoring and stitching in temp buffers.  I just counted
and I'm using three blocks like you.

Yes gss_krb5_crypto.c is the one.

We have actually gained quite a bit of documentation recently.
Have you looked at Documentation/DocBook/crypto-API.tmpl?

More is always welcome of course.
