The current AF_ALG implementation requires that a userspace interface
implementation must provide a callback for setkey. Such a call is not
appliable to random number generators.

To prepare AF_ALG for the addition of a random number generator user
space interface, this function callback invocation is made optional.

Did you actually try this? AFAICS setkey is already optional.

Cheers,
