Hi,

I've recently switched to dmcrypt with aes cipher, which works quite well
except for beeing a little bit slow (~40mb/s read/write), where even weaker
CPUs in an old comparison I found yield ~60-80mb/s.

A few times AES586 is mentioned beeing a hand optimized assembler version of
the generic AES module, but I wasn't able to find it. Is it not part of the
Fedora15 default kernel, or has it been removed from vanilla as well?

Thank you in advance, Clemens
