Hi: This series of patches makes the new seqiv/echainiv implementation use the type-safe instance registration mechanism. It also removes the cryptoff parameter from the new AEAD interface. The cryptoff parameter only existed to ease the pain on implementing seqniv (i.e., skipping IV when generating ICV, used by GCM and CCM). However it turns out that it only helped because the implementation was buggy and totally ignored the IPsec user's cryptoff setting. So the last three pathces remove that use of cryptoff and instead rearranges the AD such that the gap left by the IV is filled.
