I don't think that's a good idea. You probably need to find some way
to make pcrypt (parallel crypt layer) work for dmcrypt. That may
actually give you more speedup too than your old hack because
it can balance over more cores. 

Or get a system with AES-NI -- that usually solves it too.

Frankly I don't think it's a very interesting case, the majority
of workloads are not like that.
