Right Akhil, thanks for spotting this. Will fix in next version.

The implementation is already using nb_drivers to calculate the size, right?
Anyway, I understand that the way asymmetric sessions are done, the API
will be the same, but this could change in the future and since we have already deprecated the
generic function (get_header_session_size), I think we should continue and have both _sym and _asym_ functions.

Thanks,
Pablo
