Nope, with nohwcrypt we don't initialize the hw engine at all, we just
tell hw that data is not encrypted and that nothing should be done
about it. With these hw options from what I understand from docs we
can initialize the engine but use only part of it, eg. use only hw
encryption or only hw decryption. It might be useful in your case.
