hm... well... sorry, if irrelevant.
if the algorithm can have a _noctx() decompression function, does it
automatically guarantee that this algorithm never dereferences a passed
`struct crypto_tfm *tfm' pointer in its decompress function? in other words,
can we simply pass that `shared tfm pointer' to the existing decompress
function instead of defining new symbols, new callbacks, etc.?

	cot_decompress_noctx()  ==  cot_decompress(shared_ftm) ?

just a thought.
