Poul-Henning recently sent me some performance numbers from his initial
work to hook GEOM up to the AES support in the crypto framework using the
VPN1401/1411.  He didn't seem to report any brokenness in the driver in
-CURRENT.  The support may not yet have been MFC'd to -STABLE yet,
however.  I've CC'd Sam since his fingerprints are all over the code in
question.  :-)
