Yes, yes, I know: you've been peppering my inbox about BLAKE2s for a few
months now. :-) By the way, for the kernel, you still haven't sent
me any real patches yet. Happy to look at whatever code with benchmarks
you have available.

Anyway, for busybox, I'll likely be using something already in libbb, so
no worries here.
