Yeah.

Herbert, the breakage _seems_ to be due to the STATUSTYPE_TABLE case 
change:

-		cipher = crypto_tfm_alg_name(cc->tfm);
+		cipher = crypto_blkcipher_name(cc->tfm);

which effectively changes "aes" into "cbc(aes)", which is wrong, since we 
show the chainmode separately.

Please, somebody who knows this area, send me a fix,
