Try loop-AES-v1.6e that I just announced. Loop-AES is twice as fast as
cryptoapi AES on most modern boxes and is compatible with all stable kernels
(-ac, -aa, mainline, distro vendor kernels). OTOH, if you actually enjoy
slow crypto or enjoy incompatibility with kernels with sane VM, then go with
cryptoapi crap.
