You can not.

Cryptoapi does much more than OCF has.

Unlikely...

There is a work to implement userspace interface for cryptoapi, which
will use all its features, be asynchronous (there is a patch to
implement aio_read/aio_write with crypto file descriptors), although
work is in early development, it promises interesting capabilities.

Check work from Shasi Pulijala <spulijala@amcc.com> and
Loc Ho <lho@amcc.com>
