Hm... I assume the problem was that skcipher_walk may give you nbytes
that is not rounded to the algorithm's walksize (aka walk.stride) even
in the middle of the stream, right? I must have misread the code in
skcipher.c and assumed that it automatically makes every step of a
round size, with the exception of the very last one, which may include
a final partial block. Thinking about it now it makes sense to me that
this isn't the case, since for stream ciphers it would mean some
unnecessary memcpy'ing in the skcipher_walk code...

Maybe you could explain the problem in one or two sentences in the
commit message(s), since the contract of skcipher_walk doesn't seem to
be documented anywhere and so it is not obvious why the change is
necessary.

Thank you for all your work on this - the improved testmgr tests were
long needed!
