That is _actually_ being addressed already.
Nicolai Stange send a patchset for ephemeral keys, FFDHE support, and 
FIPS-related thingies for the in-kernel DH crypto implementation 
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20211209090358.28231-1-nstange@suse.de/).
This obsoletes my preliminary patches, and I have ported my patchset to 
run on top of those.

Question is how to continue from here; I can easily rebase my patchset 
and send it relative to Nicolais patches. But then we'll be bound to the 
acceptance of those patches, so I'm not quite sure if that's the best 
way to proceed.

Cheers,

Hannes
