I have to say that you've done a great job in improving crypto
performance on x86 and I'm very pleased with being able to
encrypt 256 bytes in just over 100 CPU cycles and doing a
whole page takes less than 1000 cycles.

But this is only possible with SIMD instructions which we do not
support in hard IRQ context.

Cheers,
