This reservation should not be observed. I provided patches for adding AF_ALG 
interfaces for KPP and AKCIPHER some time ago which were rejected. Libkcapi 
still contains the interface implementations but are not compiled by default. 

As the patches are rejected, their values should not be considered as 
relevant. Thus, I think your patch should not keep holes in the numbers.
