Riaan (CCed to this mail) already worked on a patch to provide
software AES-GCM.

Patch isn't actually in HEAD because I still could not find time to do
a last stage review before commiting it.

Feel both free to insult me from time to time unless patch has been
commited :-)

Riaan: do you have a newer version of your patchset, or can I use the
latest you sent to me ?


On userland side, I just don't know if *swan supports AES-GCM.
