Thanks for doing (and more importantly testing) this :)

I'd kind of argue that just hardcoding 16 is fine here, keylen _looks_
variable so the compiler can't optimize it away, but in reality keylen
always must be 32 and sizeof() must be always 16 :)

But it also really doesn't matter.

Should we Cc stable on this?
