Does that include the hash for authentication header in 
net/ipv[46]/ah[46].c?

The driver implements authenc algorithms, so we'll already get 
asynchronous operation for ESP, but the crypto_alloc_hash() in ah[46].c 
explicitly requests a synchronous hash. Is this worth converting to use 
ahash?

Thanks,

Jamie
