Hifn 7955 doesn't work with Freebsd 7.0-release

[Pegasus Mc cleaft]

Hi all.. I found the same problem recently, but I also found someone's post on 
the Internet that suggested a change to 
the /usr/src/crypto/openssl/crypto/engine/eng_cryptodev.c file. I made the 
change to the file and it definitely does force openssl to use the crypto 
hardware. I am not sure if there is any backlash to this patch, but I have 
used it on 2 of my servers with the Hifn 7955 hardware and it seems to be 
fine.
