Because AI bots are shredding through the AF_ALG code in the kernel, upstream has decided to deprecate AF_ALG: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260430011544.31823-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/ Follow their lead and do the same here. afalg_engine AFAIK is a faster version of what OpenSSL provides last time I used it. Although I don't think it was useful for long. OpenSSH's sandbox conflicts with AF_ALG. Signed-off-by: Rosen Penev <rosenp@gmail.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Because of this response: https://lore.kernel.org/all/afm4-F1_MCPi3RwE@gondor.apana.org.au/ I see that it was applied to the Linux kernel, thus approving and I will merge it afterwards.
