how much the linux kernel wants to enforce the RFC is up to the
higher levels in its crypto API and other front end interfaces such
as XFRM. So those checks for RFC compliance should be performed
before they reach the implementation (driver).
Meanwhile, drivers themselves should accurately represent the h/w
capabilities, whether they meet and/or exceed the RFC's constraints
or not, IMO. This way, if/when the RFC gets extended to become
open to a wider range of values, the driver needs no changes.

sorry, I meant just .maxauthsize = AES_BLOCK_SIZE.
