You need to copy the IV back into req->info after completion.
I haven't found any driver updating the req->info field with the new
IV. Could you point me to one of them.
Incidentally we don't seem to test for output IVs in our self-
test so bugs like this can slip through until someone tries to
do chaining with it.  That's something worth adding to testmgr.
Yes, that makes sense, but since a lot a drivers (if not all of them)
are not updating this field we'll break them when adding this test
unless we make it optional (with a new flag ?).

Do you have any suggestion to address this problem ?
