There's a public application note on freescale.com:
"AN3645 - SEC 2x/3x Descriptor Programmer's Guide" (Rev.3/2010)

"Table 4 - EUs Supported in Each SEC Version" summarizes which
algorithms / modes are supported for every talitos version.
Unfortunately this goes up to SEC 3.3.1.
Since XTS doesn't show up, 3.3.2 would be the first supporting it.
