For driver->engine calls(crypto_finalize_request/crypto_transfer_request_to_engine) it's easy.

But I do not see how to do it for crypto_engine_op appart re-introducing the big if/then/else that
you didnt want.
Or do you agree to set the request parameter for crypto_engine_op(prepare_request/unprepare_request/do_one_request) to void * ?
