There are other modes like CFB, CTR, OFB, and IGE. While they ma

If anything the parameterised scheme is going to make it easier to have

Are you sure that you want to have generic CBC code?
For many algorithms, there are optomizations that one can do when one is
in CBC mode.

It seems that
crypto_cipher_encrypt_iv(); and decrypt_iv();
BUG_ON() if the cit_mode is MODE_ECB. Okay, that's reasonable.
The problem is that the OCF cryptosoft interface for OCF sets the mode=0,
now. Since it's a NULL cipher, it doesn't matter what mode, so I've
changed it to CBC mode, an
