TBH I can't really see the value in this patch. IMO it doesn't make the
code more readable, on the contrary, you create algorithm-specific
wrappers over the generic function, where the sole specialization is in
the arguments passed to the generic functions. You introduce 4 more
function pointers and this affects performance negatively (albeit can't
say to what extent) due to spectre mitigations (retpolines).

I also read the follow up patches with the hopes of seeing how the code
becomes cleaner to no avail. At this point I'm really not in favor of
this particular patch.
