If it's useful to you I also have (ABI-preserving) patches for recent
OpenSSL 0.9.8, and even backported it to 0.9.8a this week.

Just 'openssl speed -evp aes128' (or aes192 or aes256).

Note that 'openssl speed aes' doesn't work. It won't use the AESNI
engine because it calls into the 'core' AES functions directly, and
doesn't use EVP.
