OK it works but there is a more serious issue.  In particular, the
user-space interface only provides spaces for the AD in the source
and not in the destination.

That means if we need to modify the AD (e.g., to rearrange headers
for IPsec) then we'd have to copy it.

So what I'd like to do is to make the recvmsg also provide space
for the AD.  That way we can always copy the AD into that space
and modify it if necessary.

In order to allow this to be done I'm going to disable the AEAD
user-space interface in 4.1 so that we have time to fix it properly
for 4.2.

Cheers,
