It won't be in mainline as far as I am aware.

I recall Matt enabling the option, I can't recall if it's in
2.6.31.14.20 or not, it's definitely enabled in the
mx51_efikamx_defconfig if you checkout the latest from gitorious.  I'm
not sure if Ubuntu enables the OpenSSL combo or not, rebuilding the
package isn't very hard if it isn't...
