This means new wrappers for the other helpers too, yes? For example:
SKCIPHER_REQUEST_ON_STACK(nreq, ctx->null);
skcipher_request_set_tfm(nreq, ctx->null);
skcipher_request_set_callback(nreq, req->base.flags, NULL, NULL);
skcipher_request_set_crypt(nreq, req->src, req->dst, nbytes, NULL);
return crypto_skcipher_encrypt(nreq);
For the above, we'd also need:
sync_skcipher_request_set_tfm()
sync_skcipher_request_set_callback()
sync_skcipher_request_set_crypt()
