Well, in the ESSIV case I understand there are two in-kernel users, so it makes
perfect sense to use common crypto API implementation.
For the rest, I perhaps still do not understand the reason to move this API
to "internal only" state.
(I am sure people will find an another way to to construct crazy things,
even if they are forced to use skcipher API. 8-)

For the Bitlocker compatibility, it is only AES in CBC mode, but we usually do
not limit IV use in dmcrypt.
(We still need to solve the Bitlocker Elephant diffuser, but that's another issue.)

I can then use ECB skcipher directly (IOW use skcipher ecb(aes) for IV).
(ECB mode must be present, because XTS is based on it anyway.)
Why I am asking is that with sync skcipher it means allocation of request
on stack - still more code than the patch I posted below.
We can do that. But if the crypto_cipher API stays exported, I do not see any
reason to write more complicated code.
We (dmcrypt) are pretty sophisticated user of crypto API already :)
Thanks,
Milan
