Reading spec again yes you are right.

I would go with 'tme_cryto_alg', and 'mktme_supported_crypto_algs' for
the two variables, and TME_CRYPTO_ALG(x), TME_CRYPTO_ALG_AES_XTS_128, 
MKTME_SUPPORTED_CRYPTO_ALGS(x), and MKTME_CRYPTO_ALG_AES_XTS_128 for
the macros, but it's up to you and other guys.

Btw I do think AES_XTS should be AES_XTS_128, even you go with current
names, as AES cipher can also take 256-bit key.
