This is a bug in gcm_base.  It should not use the driver name as
its cra_name.  I'll try to fix this.

Ditto.  gcm should also canonicalise aes-asm in its cra_name.

This is different.  We should definitely add tests for the IV
generators.  Obviously we can't test the randomness but we can
certainly test for correctness.  What we can do is reuse the
test vectors for the underlying algorithms.
