The z990 isn't really crypto hw in the traditional sense, it has special instructions in the CPU so from Linux POV it's more an extremly optimized SW implementation..
And we have to solve this anyway even iof support for external crypto hw is delayed. Think of integrating Jari's x86 assembly aes implementation or similar things. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
