I haven't been able to hit the issue in 2/5 on RT on a v6.0 kernel in an
x86 vm.  Were there any other things running on the system besides
pcrypt_aead01?  More details about your environment and your kernel
config would be helpful.

The first two patches seem ok but I want to think about the second more
next week.  I'll look over the rest of the series then too.
