The tests were written and passed under Linux Kernel 4.7. I was under the assumption that the API is stable. But the most recent version 4.9 has changed the API for AEAD mode slightly. libkcapi project maintain a well written documentation of the Kernel crypto API,

Fedora 24 and 25 are affected. I'm going to update the tests. Downstream distributors: Feel free to disable the test in the mean time. The feature is not critical.
