I think so. That's the solution mentioned by Herbert. The only drawback
is that we will need to fix "ghash-generic" as the fallback
implementation in order to know beforehand its descsize.
However I would keep the p8_ghash_desc_ctx the way it is and I would
sum sizeof(struct ghash_desc_ctx) to the algorithm descsize instead.
Let me put a quick patch together to test this.

Yeah. It still seems to me that padlock-sha has the same problem. Maybe
we are missing something...
