Most interesting. So there really is a plan to move all crypto into the 
kernel? I can see the benefit from the security point of view, but I 
expected that putting it all in the kernel may be a step too far in 
terms of bloat. It should certainly simplify things for Linux-only 
userspace crypto library implementations.

Is the /dev/crypto device node cryptodev compatible (same node name)?
