That looks wrong from the implementation POV: If your FPGA is doing aes
in CBC mode you shouldn't hack it into aes_generic.c or cbc.c but
implement your own driver with a higher priority.

This isn't helping. Please look at a few drivers which use DMA to
transfer the data and use hardware encryption. Examples are:
- drivers/crypto/talitos.c
- drivers/crypto/hifn_795x.c
