Such an address can be used directly in padlock's AES.
This improves speed of geli(8) significantly:
# sysctl kern.geom.zero.clear=0
# geli onetime -s 4096 gzero
# dd if=/dev/gzero.eli of=/dev/null bs=1m count=1000
Before: 113MB/s
After: 203MB/s
BTW. If sector size is set to 128kB, I can read at 276MB/s :)
new VIA CPUs.
For older CPUs HMAC/SHA1 and HMAC/SHA256 (and others) will still be done
in software.
Move symmetric cryptography (currently only AES-CBC 128/192/256) to
padlock_cipher.c file. Move HMAC cryptography to padlock_hash.c file.
