Thanks for the pointer, but there I do not really see the functionality I am 
looking for. I see patch 10/16 which seems to indicate that the geniv logic is 
now to be invoked as a normal AEAD cipher. I yet fail to see where the 
distinction is made in the code that an IV is to be generated versus the given 
IV is to be used.


Ciao
