Will it be possible to design ZFS crypto API which will hide internals
of OS-specific in-kernel crypto API? There is opencrypto API in
FreeBSD's kernel on which I worked quite a bit, so I could help with
design. You can find more info about opencrypto here:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=crypto&sektion=9&format=html
The good thing is that we probably need very simple API for ZFS.
