DISTRO yes, BSP is harder. If we enable it, it becomes MACHNE_ARCH as well as all packages which depends on it. > Going back to the original question of whether cryptodev-linux should > be enabled by default, I would say no.

Tom, this is indeed the most important aspect to discuss. We need to check if latest openssl with new Linux kernels still require cryptodev-linux to use the acceleration. -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
