When I look on how you allocate the aead transformation, it seems
that you should either register an asynchronous callback with
aead_request_set_callback(), or request for a synchronous algorithm.

Otherwise you will crash on an asynchronous crypto return, no?

Also, it seems that you have your scatterlists on a per crypto
transformation base istead of per crypto request. Is this intentional?
