What about adding a setauthsize to af_alg_type that is called from the parent 
setsockopt? I would like to keep all user space interfaces as close together 
as possible. With a new setsockopt callback, I fear that user space interface 
handling may be scattered around.

Currently I am simply thinking about the following:

partent setsockopt:

        case ALG_SET_AEAD_AUTHSIZE:
                if (sock->state == SS_CONNECTED)
                        goto unlock;
                if (!type->setauthsize)
                        goto unlock;
                err = type->setauthsize(ask->private, optlen);

af_alg_type:

int (*setauthsize)(void *private, unsigned int authsize);
