[fedora-arm] Hardware Crypto Offload on Kirkwood (SheevaPlug)

[Gordan Bobic]

Hi,

In case anyone is interested, I got this working on F13. It required 
building the cryptodev kernel module and rebuilding the standard F13 
OpenSSL package with three additional parameters (the cryptodev support 
is already in the standard OpenSSL package sources, it just isn't 
enabled in the default build).

More details available here:

Any chance we can have cryptodev enabled in the standard package build? 
I cannot see any drawbacks to having it available - when cryptodev 
device isn't there, it will simply fall back to the software 
implementation. (Note: required cryptodev header file provided by the 
external kernel driver).
