Why do you copy everything before you feed it to the hardware?
If the issue is alignment then surely you should only to copy
a small amount of header (and perhaps trailer) for that?

You are supposed to extract the entire hardware state after each
operation and store that in the request context.  Since your
request context doesn't appear to contain any hash state, this 
can't possibly work.

Does your hardware allow the non-finalised hash state to be
exported, and re-imported later? If not then you can only
implement support for digest and must use a fallback for
everything else.
