Is it?  That's entirely unclear.  The algorithm should deal with inserting the
checksum in the appropriate place.  The caller should not need to know about
that or where the checksum is or about extra bits of metadata that may need to
be inserted (as I think the extra gssapi layer does for sunrpc).

The AEAD interface does not dictate where the authentication
tag is.  Most algorithms put it at the end, but it really could
be anywhere.
