Comment (by ken@…):

 from [https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-
 users/2017-February/005324.html] the af_alg test uses crypto options in
 the kernel to offload to the kernel. Also see the follow-up
 [https://mta.openssl.org/pipermail/openssl-
 users/2017-February/005325.html] : it sounds as if the async driver is
 assumed to exist for non-ancient kernels, but that on some kernel versions
 or kernel configs it is not present.

 Unfortunately, the github link in that follow-up post gives a 404, so
 trying to determine which kernel config options are needed is "left as an
 exercise by the reader".
