Okay, if we do that, then we'll likely be dropping a lot of union logic
(since ecb and cbc end up with identical params and ctr and xts do too):

typedef void (*common_glue_func_t)(void *ctx, u8 *dst, const u8 *src);
typedef void (*common_glue_cbc_func_t)(void *ctx, u128 *dst, const u128 *src);
typedef void (*common_glue_ctr_func_t)(void *ctx, u128 *dst, const u128 *src,
le128 *iv);
typedef void (*common_glue_xts_func_t)(void *ctx, u128 *dst, const u128 *src,
le128 *iv);
...
struct common_glue_func_entry {
unsigned int num_blocks; /* number of blocks that @fn will process */
union {
common_glue_func_t ecb;
common_glue_cbc_func_t cbc;
common_glue_ctr_func_t ctr;
common_glue_xts_func_t xts;
} fn_u;
};

These would end up being just:

typedef void (*common_glue_func_t)(void *ctx, u8 *dst, const u8 *src);
typedef void (*common_glue_iv_func_t)(void *ctx, u8 *dst, const u8 *src,
le128 *iv);
...
struct common_glue_func_entry {
unsigned int num_blocks; /* number of blocks that @fn will process */
union {
common_glue_func_t func;
common_glue_iv_func_t iv_func;
} fn_u;

Is that reasonable?
