The crypto API is made up of the part facing users such as IPsec and the low-level part which is used by cryptographic entities such as algorithms. This patch splits out the latter so that the two APIs are more clearly delineated. As a bonus the low-level API can now be modularised if all algorithms are built as modules.

Some VIA processors come with an integrated crypto engine
|
|
(so called VIA PadLock ACE, Advanced Cryptography Engine)
|
|
that provides instructions for very fast {en,de}cryption
|
|
with some algorithms.
|
|
|
|
The instructions are used only when the CPU supports them.
|
|
Otherwise software encryption is used. If you are unsure,
|
|
say Y.

Use VIA PadLock for AES algorithm.
