Attached is another version of this patch - I like this more because instead of
additional parameter for Kc length there is now dedicated function.

When I tried to use updated API I quickly realized that we rarely need to have key
length explicitly: algorithm implementations know it already for obvious reasons.
Hence I think function is better than parameter.

Looking forward to the LIBVERSION update. We can also merge cipher implementation
a5/3 a5/4, gea3, gea4 at the same time which would use this new API. This way we
would have more features to warrant such update.

cheers,
Max.
