Hello, I've noticed that to export the crypto accelerators to userspace (i.e. openssl/gnutls) you use the OCF kernel subsystem. I'd like to ask what are the reasons for this decision. Is it because the supported accelerators in the linux kernel are less than those in OCF? Do they provide better or more recent dirvers? The reason I ask is because i'm working on a module (http://home.gna.org/cryptodev-linux/), that exports the linux kernel supported crypto engines at userspace using the /dev/crypto interface. I think it might be of interest to owners of boards with crypto accelerators, since if the engines supported in recent kernels are sufficient, using OCF shouldn't be required to have /dev/crypto.
