But according to Tadeusz it may be viable to register hybrid asym ciphers with

handle potentially large chunks of data. I am now wondering whether a flat 
buffer still makes sense or whether the akcipher should be converted to 
scatter lists as all the other cipher types.

If it shall stay as is, how would we be handling larger buffers?

What is a hybrid cipher and why would we want to have it in the
kernel?
