It's done but no-one was interested in it and as I haven't received any 
answers from Dave if he's going to merge it, I did not bring it to 
attention again. After all it was for a specific use-case SUSE has/had 
and I left the company.

Probably yes, I haven't researched if blake2b can be used in a HMAC 
context, but from what I can see there should be no problem. SHA-256 was 
chooses because SUSE Product Management needed SHA for their use-case.

If there is still interest in this work I can re-base my branches [1][2] 
and add blake2b as well, this /should/ be trivially done.

I just don't want to spend time on it again when it's not going to be 
merged in the end (for what ever reason).
