Thank you very much for testing this on ARM and for the comments.

Yes you are right, that was a typo :)

Well, I can do that to enhance the clarity.

Thank you pointing this out. I missed out to add sg_init_table(src2, 1)
and sg_init_table(dst2, 1), but sg_set_page is used in geniv_iter_block.
This is probably the reason for the panic on ARM platform. However it
ran fine under qemu-x86. May be I should setup an arm platform too
for testing.
