AES-GCM/Hardware crypto for Octeon

Hi,

Is the hardware crypto used by OpenCrypto/OpenSSL on the Octeon Plus 
range?  Other than specifying cryptodev engine, is there a way to make 
sure that it's being used?

Also, according to the Cavium product brief, the coprocessor supports 
AES-GCM, I can't work out if it's actually supported in OpenSSL as the 
patches seem to be geared towards Intel's hardware assisted variant - is 
this supportable on the current tree, or will it require extra 
patches/work (perhaps upstream?)

Cheers,
Joe
