I would say that this is something that we can break.  Breaking
it is no different to running virtio on a host that does not support
these algorithms.  After all, a software implementation must always
be present.

I deliberately left akcipher out of crypto_user because the API
is still in flux.  We should not let virtio constrain ourselves.
