They're currently sort of on hold, since Jason Donenfeld is working on
a more comprehensive solution to the same problem. Jason, I don't
suppose the sha256 part of your patch set is ready?

Ard, if Jason's patches are too far in the future, would you be okay
with merging a cleaned-up version of my patch for sha256 even if the
sha512 equivalent isn't there?
