cryptodev cipher registration (aesni and padlock)

While doing some testing with the aesni driver, it seems some ciphers are registered with openssl and some are not.

e.g. if I start an ssh session using aes128, I see the following

[pyroxene]% ssh -c aes128-cbc smarthost1 "cryptostats" | grep sym
654198 symmetric crypto ops (0 errors, 0 times driver blocked)
[pyroxene]% ssh -c aes128-cbc smarthost1 "cryptostats" | grep sym
654225 symmetric crypto ops (0 errors, 0 times driver blocked)
[pyroxene]% 

ie it shows the hardware transformation count increasing.  But if I do aes 192 or 256, it does not

[pyroxene]% ssh -c aes256-cbc smarthost1 "cryptostats" | grep sym
654231 symmetric crypto ops (0 errors, 0 times driver blocked)
[pyroxene]% ssh -c aes192-cbc smarthost1 "cryptostats" | grep sym
654231 symmetric crypto ops (0 errors, 0 times driver blocked)
[pyroxene]% ssh -c aes192-cbc smarthost1 "cryptostats" | grep sym
654231 symmetric crypto ops (0 errors, 0 times driver blocked)
[pyroxene]% ssh -c aes192-cbc smarthost1 "cryptostats" | grep sym
654231 symmetric crypto ops (0 errors, 0 times driver blocked)
[pyroxene]% 
Yet the are supposed to be supported, no ?  Where in openssl is this configured ? The padlock driver does the same thing
