It's hard to evaluate it without reference to some public documentation
for the crypto card and the syscalls needed to use it. Is it a standard
part of s390 machines or an option?

Does it provide substantial benefit for the crypto used in the pre-auth
stage of the protocol? (private key operations and DH/ECDH key agreement)
