Bug Description
Description: Enable KVM guests to use the virtio-crypto device to perform all crypto algorithms provided by the hypervisor crypto backend. This is done by implementing a handshake between the guest driver and host backend.
Business Value: Increased flexibility by decoupling guest and host virtio-crypto capabilities and better compatibility between guest and host in the case of software upgrades.
kernel 4.19:
C: crypto: virtio - Read crypto services and algorithm masks [b551bac14a]
C: crypto: virtio - Register an algo only if it's supported [d0d859bb87]

Since the target kernel for disco is 4.20 / 4.21 this is in plan.
So will not assign, but monitor this ...
