My suggestion would not introduce dead code (i.e., code that never gets 
executed). You move some code to another function, but still call it.

Well, in a sense I am already that second user: I have patches for ifs 
and loops, including a patch that introduces the write_sm4_block helper 
I suggested (with precisely that signature).

That said, no problem going through another patch.

Thanks, Giovanni.
