I haven't done that yet.  Sorry, I should've been more explicit with what I
was after.  I was wanting to find out if the nfs/nfsd people are okay with
this (and if there are any gotchas I should know about - it turns out, if I
understand it correctly, the relevant code may being being rewritten a bit
anyway).

And from you, I was wanting to find out if you're okay with an interface of
this kind in crypto/ where the code is just used directly - or whether I'll
be required to wrap it up in the autoloading, module-handling mechanisms.
