As I've mentioned before, the self-tests (crypto/testmgr.c) don't issue
more than one request concurrently.  They are really designed for
testing the software implementations, not the hardware drivers.  None of
the hardware driver authors has ever caused enough about quality to make
any significant improvements to the tests.  Inevitably it's just push
the driver in, *maybe* run the existing incomplete tests once (for QCE
it's finally getting done just now), and job done I guess.
