I know this was directed at the other guy, but I'm using "software-only"
OpenSSL. Is there some reason to use cryptodev instead? Is there some
Atom hardware that the kernel could take advantage of that a userland
program or library (the OpenSSL library in particular) can't?

I'm also contemplating using the GPU for some crypto operations, though
I'm not sure we've got large enough chunks to make it worthwhile (or
that the GPU is sufficiently faster than the CPU for RC4-MD5).
