Something like a completely new type which in reality is just a
wrapper around skcipher:

	struct crypto_sync_skcipher {
		struct crypto_skcipher base;
	} tfm;

	tfm = crypto_alloc_sync_skcipher(...);

	crypto_sync_skcipher_encrypt(...)
	crypto_sync_skcipher_decrypt(...)

These functions would just be trivial inline functions around their
crypto_skcipher counterparts.

Cheers,
