HW crypto acceleration is part of kernel and dm-crypt will use it automatically if crypto API detects that accelerated module is available. Today is is very common to use Intel AES-NI for example. Forget about OpenSSL or other backend in cryptsetup, this is not the option that handles data encryption.
