Yes but it's currently an enormeous amount of code all over the CPU-side
format. It needs a LOT of work. Ideally we should just call some shared
function from reset(), and some other function from crypt_all() (and so
on) and be done with it.
On kernel side, things are much better. It's the host code that knocks
me cold.
