All GCM implementations available on recent Intel systems successfully
tested (i.e NX and CAAM not tested).

Just to clarify: from a caller's perspective, using
seqniv(rfc4106(gcm(aes))) is still the right invocation? Or shall I now
use seqiv?

You should use seqiv from now on.  But I should update the patches
so that seqniv is not visible to user-space.

In this case, wouldn't xfrm_algo.c need to be changed too?

Cheers,
