Porting OBSD's Crypto Hardware Support To FreeBSD

Dan writes: "Sam Leffler reports in his email to freebsd-arch regarding the status of his progress porting OpenBSD hardware crypto support to FreeBSD. He's had a patch available for freebsd-stable for a while, and has made major progress changing the KAME IPSEC code to use this framework, again in the style done by openbsd (using continuations to break up the input and output packet processing paths). In addition to the IPSEC work he's been talking to various hardware vendors about support for their products in FreeBSD."
