I'm not sure I like this. Keeping up to date with crypto stuff is hard
enough as it is. I don't like adding a out-of-tree kernel module into the
mix.
I wouldn't mind the options for gnutls and openssl but those require
crypto/cryptodev.h, right? Where is this coming from anyways?
cryptodev.install is empty, so not from there.
