So AEAD is essentially just encryption with extra metadata on
input and output stages. As such I don't think this should be
implemented via new objects in QEMU.

Instead, we should add the extra APIs to the existing
cipher.{c,h} file.

You've only implemented AES support here, so the code duplication
is not obvious, but if we were to extend AEAD to other algorithms
we'd see alot of duplication with the way you've done things.

So....

Just add these three methods to cipher.h instead

This is fine.
