That's a very old link. Note that openssl's cryptodev support works
well for ciphers, but not for digests (hashes). So the best is to
compile without digest support, or use the patches in
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/191

The most current instructions are:
https://github.com/cryptodev-linux/cryptodev-linux/blob/master/INSTALL
and in https://github.com/cryptodev-linux/cryptodev-linux
