27   The asynchronous message digest API is used with the ciphers of type
28   CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_AHASH (listed as type <span class="quote">&#8220;<span class="quote">ahash</span>&#8221;</span> in /proc/crypto)

30   The asynchronous cipher operation discussion provided for the
31   CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_ABLKCIPHER API applies here as well.
