 * Memory Structure:

 *

 * To support the needs of the most prominent user of AEAD ciphers, namely

 * IPSEC, the AEAD ciphers have a special memory layout the caller must adhere

 * to.

 *

 * The scatter list pointing to the input data must contain:

 *

 * * for RFC4106 ciphers, the concatenation of

 * associated authentication data || IV || plaintext or ciphertext. Note, the

 * same IV (buffer) is also set with the aead_request_set_crypt call. Note,

 * the API call of aead_request_set_ad must provide the length of the AAD and

 * the IV. The API call of aead_request_set_crypt only points to the size of

 * the input plaintext or ciphertext.

 *

 * * for "normal" AEAD ciphers, the concatenation of

 * associated authentication data || plaintext or ciphertext.

 *

 * It is important to note that if multiple scatter gather list entries form

 * the input data mentioned above, the first entry must not point to a NULL

 * buffer. If there is any potential where the AAD buffer can be NULL, the

 * calling code must contain a precaution to ensure that this does not result

 * in the first scatter gather list entry pointing to a NULL buffer.
