It's intentional to use the same implementation to generate the inauthentic AEAD
messages, because it allows the inauthentic AEAD input tests to run even if the
generic implementation is unavailable.

I think you meant the condition to be 'if (strcmp(generic_driver, driver) != 0)'
and for the comment to be "Not already the generic impl?".

This means the test won't run if the generic implementation is unavailable.
Is there any particular reason to impose that requirement?
You mentioned a concern about the implementation being "untested", but it
actually already passed test_aead() before getting to test_aead_extra().
We could also just move test_aead_inauthentic_inputs() to below
test_aead_vs_generic_impl() so that it runs last.
