Yes, I think we would need it. It is technically possible to have multiple IOCBs for AEAD ciphers. Even though your implementation may not write the IV back, others may do that. At least I do not see a guarantee that the IV is *not* written back by a driver. In case your driver does not write the IV back and thus does not need to serialize, the driver can report CRYPTO_ALG_SERIALIZES_IV_ACCESS. In this case, the higher level functions would not serialize as the driver serializes the requests (or the driver deems it appropriate that no serialization is needed as is the case with your driver).
