Since a similar mechanism is not available for AEADs, I was wondering if
doing the following in the tfm_init functions of AEAD algs (PATCH 3/4
and 4/4 of this series) is acceptable, esp. since setting reqsize is
moved to the algorithm struct field cra_reqsize.

+       unsigned int reqsize = crypto_aead_reqsize(tfm);
+       crypto_aead_set_reqsize(tfm, reqsize +
crypto_aead_reqsize(ctx->aead_fb));


I noticed all older existing drivers using a fallback do something
similar, and was wondering if you'll still accept new drivers which use
crypto_*_set_reqsize() to modify reqsize for fallback use-cases?
