AFAICT you are not using gcrypt here - you're using QEMU
cipher APIs (which is good). These APIs can be backed by
either nettle or gcrypt though, so the subject is misleading.

Oops, thanks for your reminding :)

Will fix in the next version.

This can be just crypto-obj-y +=

I'd suggest we just call this backend "builtin", so do a
replace of "gcrypt" with "builtin" throughout.

Nitpick, I prefer to see 'size_t' for list iterators
that are always positive. Similar comment in other
places in this series using int i

Although the QEMU cipher.h API does not export CTR mode currently
it should be trivial to add it. So feel free to add a patch at
the start of the series implementing CTR mode in the cipher API.
Both gcrypt and nettle have support for it which is all we need.
