Xilinx HW accelerator priority

Hi,

I'm currently trying to add cryptodev support for Xilinx's HW accelerator (zynqmp-aes-gcm) however one question was raised. 
Why is the priority of the hardware accelerator lower (200) than the software one (300) ?
Here is the pull request in question: https://github.com/cryptodev-linux/cryptodev-linux/pull/86
My tests show that the hardware accelerator is at least 2 times slower than the software one but it frees up some cpu cycles.
Is that the reason ?

Cheers,
Victor
