This System-on-chip uses the Silicon Sonics Backplane bus to discover the 
cores available, among them there is something called IPsec core.

The IPsec core in the BCM53xx is capable of doing authentication and 
encryption in a single cryptographic operation. Datasheets says it can 
encrypt and authenticate up to 70Mbits/sec traffic.

Basically, the driver should hook into the Async crypto API. A similar driver 
is the hifn 795x driver :
