Nope, this is currently not possible because the names where templates are
used are "created" on the fly. I.e. the kernel parses the name up to a
paranthesis and tries to allocate that name.
Thus, the content of /proc/crypto is NOT complete per definition as it only
contains registered ciphers and allocated templates/cipher combos.

This is always defined by an implementation. For gcm_base, you see that as
follows: crypto/gcm.c: see all invocations of crypto_gcm_create_common where
the last but one argument is the CTR implementation and the last argument is
the GHASH implementation.

See other email.
