[Voyage-linux] Measure crypto performance on Soekris net5501?

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi Fabian,

As far as I know, there are two part of work to enable it.  One is 
kernel and one is openssl.

Although kernel provide low level geode-ase support, it doesn't mean 
that userland can support it directly.  I see OpenBSD can support it 
nicely, but Linux has to do a lot of patching.

If you guys has more information on this, please discuss in this thread 
as well.  While I may not help in openssl part, but I am able to 
incorporate the required patch in kernel.

Regards,
Punky
