Like what? AFAIK O_GLOBAL actually fixes *all* the issues with AES 4.1 I
know of and I have even suspected it will fix one other long standing issue
with another piece of software but I have to verify it tonight.

I don't like (re)introducing hacks into the kernel either but in this case
I would say backward compatibility wins over cleanliness. When / if someone
(;-)) manages to recompile AES 4.1 from sources resulting in an exact
binary match and fixes it there, I'll be the first to remove this code from
the kernel.

If you absolutely have to, instead of using a dedicated handle, i would

Not a bad idea at all, thanks.
