Thanks for the pointer, but there I do not really see the functionality I am
looking for. I see patch 10/16 which seems to indicate that the geniv logic is
now to be invoked as a normal AEAD cipher. I yet fail to see where the
distinction is made in the code that an IV is to be generated versus the given
IV is to be used.

Ciao
