I've done some groundwork, mostly research through a well known search
engine and in the kernel code. What I've found is now at
https://github.com/michaelweiser/cryptodev-linux/commit/30e66ed072d34ad0ca93f7457a9772519ca68de0.
It compiles but I haven't had a chance to actually test it for function
yet. 

It turns out skcipher is fairly young: It entered mainline with 4.3.

What is your take on supporting old kernel versions: Should I #ifdef for
< 4.3 or can I just drop ablkcipher like I've done now?

BTW: I've looked into
https://github.com/cryptodev-linux/cryptodev-linux/issues/12 more
closely to get cryptodev-linux to compile against current master.
Moonman's proposed fix
(https://github.com/cryptodev-linux/cryptodev-linux/pull/13/commits/cdbe7ee5978704c788e91170467fe0db064650fe)
seemed too good to be true to me. I came up with
https://github.com/michaelweiser/cryptodev-linux/commit/70f3aff97fc44079afcb2cc058c37bba320c5a57.
Does that look sensible to you?
