It appears openssl has been busted in it's handling of /dev/crypto since 
the engine code was roto-tilled.  Attached is an updated version of your 
patch that forces /dev/crypto to be installed as the default engine for 
all ciphers it supports.  I'm not sure this is the right change but it 
definitely makes ssh start using it (I note however that openssl speed 
does not use cryptodev unless explicity forced w/ cmd args).

It would be a good idea to get someone familiar with openssl to review 
this before committing.
