OK, I will investigate.

I did my testing in a VM using a volume that was created using a
distro kernel, and mounted and used it using a kernel with these
changes applied.

Likewise, if I take a working key.img and mode-test.img, i can mount
it and use it on the system running these patches.

I noticed that this test uses algif_skcipher not algif_aead when it
formats the volume, and so I wonder if the way userland creates the
image is affected by this?
