According to the bisect log in the other thread,
adad556efcdd42a1d9e060cb is the culprit, which does not seem
surprising, at is would result in the SIMD skcipher being encapsulated
to not be available yet when the SIMD helper tries to take a reference
to it.
Given that the resulting algo will be subject to testing as well,
could we simply override the test requirement for the inner algo? That
should make it available immediately, IIUC, and the outer algo test is
guaranteed to cover the inner one.
