All the 32-bit fields need to be 64-bit.  In some cases, UINT32_MAX crypto
operations can be done in seconds.

It's also weird that everything shares the same crypto_stat structure.  I think
there should be a different struct for each algorithm type, like there is for
the existing crypto_user algorithm reporting.  In fact you are kind of already
doing that since the struct is loaded full of unions.  But it would be much
cleaner to use actually different structures.
