Could you keep the crypto_akcipher support private to the file and just
expose rsa_pubkey_encrypt()?  I don't want the use of crypto_akcipher to
be growing significantly.  It's a very bad API, as I think is clear by
all the workarounds you had to implement to use it.  I'd like to replace
it with lib/crypto/ APIs for RSA eventually.
