Yes I did consider using the cryptoapi, but this doesn't have support for

IIRC, Felix Fietkau added support for that for OpenWRT...
Yes, but it isn't in mainline, and OpenWRT don't appear to have tried to submit
it. IMHO the major problem with their patch is it uses a second private copy
of lzma, rather than being a wrapper around the pre-existing lzma implementation.
I don't think it's going to be easy to get a second lzma implementation accepted
into mainline, when it took so long to get one accepted. I have nothing against
the cryptoapi, but it doesn't seem likely to be getting lzma support anytime soon.
As I previously said my aim is to use the pre-existing lzma implementation. Unless
it is stupendously bad (which it isn't), that seems to be the quickest, easiest and
best way to get lzma support into Squashfs.
