So I need to split do_one_request to cipher_one_request/hash_one_request.
Same with prepare_request to prepare_hash_request/prepare_cipher_request.
With the choice of each function done in crypto_engine.c.

Since this modification need to add <crypto/hash.h> to algapi.h, I think it is necessary to move all crypto engine stuff to crypto/engine.h
Do you agree ?
