I did some more tests post commit today using the aesni kld taken
directly from HEAD.  BTW, do you plan to MFC this as well ?

Results at the bottom of http://www.tancsa.com/fpu.html

It certainly makes a difference with geli. IPSEC and userland stuff, not
so much. The CPU itself is crazy fast, so its hard to see a difference
in things like ssh and even ipsec didnt yield any differences.  For ssh
and userland stuff I guess once there is an aesni userland engine, this
would probably help over the cryptodev interface.
