Yeah, not really. I suppose you could see it as a fix for the commit
that introduced crypto_memneq and did some conversions (6bf37e5aa90f
("crypto: crypto_memneq - add equality testing of memory regions w/o
timing leaks")), but that may be a bit of a stretch.

I can repost that for ipsec-next in a couple of weeks.
