So you said that canned is not compatible with the generic deflate algorithm. Does that mean that there is no way for it to decompress something compressed by the generic deflate algorithm, and vice versa its compressed output cannot be decompressed by generic deflate? We don't add an algorithm to the Crypto API if the only implementation is by hardware. IOW if you are adding a new algorithm, then a software version must be the first patch.
