I took your patch as an opportunity to check into this, and it turns out
all of this logic is also going to be needed for GCMP. As a result, I'm
not going to take this patch but instead we'll fix it up for GCMP (where
using CCMP_PN_LEN would not be appropriate anyway - perhaps we need a
union or just keep '8' which is the right size for both anyway, or we'll
go to a u64 value or something)
No worries.  Whatever's right.
