Can dm-crypt make use of the encryption capabilities of the cpu
I am probably not asking the right question but gotta start somewhere


The answer to your question according the  link given next is "yes" :
http://www.saout.de/pipermail/dm-crypt/2011-October/002092.html

best place to start with cryptsetup is to go through its FAQ located at:
http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions


This is probably not the place to ask but how about a Marvell 88F6281
www.marvell.com/embedded-processors/kirkwood/assets/HW_88F6281_OpenSource.pdf
I tried openssl speed test and it out performs a 3.4Ghz Intel
Right now running dm-crypt on the Marvell uses about 50% cpu
