[Voyage-linux] enable hardware crypto in openssl for voyage 0.7.5

[John Coltrane]

Hello Michael,

I followed the instructions in your wiki (BTW, I'm fan of dokuwiki). 
After modprobing cryptodev, cryptosoft and ocf I issued an

# openssl engine
(cryptodev) BSD cryptodev engine
(padlock) VIA PadLock (no-RNG, no-ACE)
(dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support

and aaahh, there is the BSD cryptodev engine.

Then I issued a

# openssl speed -evp aes-128-cbc
...
The 'numbers' are in 1000s of bytes per second processed.
type             16 bytes     64 bytes    256 bytes   1024 bytes   2048 
bytes
aes-128-cbc      16857.02k    51028.11k   208490.67k   829721.60k  
1306828.80k

Compare these results against the performance without using the 
geode-aes hardware encryption unit:

The 'numbers' are in 1000s of bytes per second processed.
type            16 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
aes-128-cbc 4676.31k 6764.39k 7646.98k 7919.27k 8019.39k

Very impressive :-)

Thanks a lot, and also thanks a lot to all who rendered this amazing 
project possible.

Best regards
