Has anyone actually done the experiment and verified that it was in

hardware accleration that could only be accessed by the kernel?
Actually for the use case we have, speed is something pretty low on the
priority list; not having to deal with userspace crypto library
dependencies was a goal in and of itself. Each one has its own issues
and you can never support just one. Using AF_ALG has been rather...
liberating.
