└─>Support for IBM PowerPC Nest (NX) cryptographic acceleration
In linux kernel since version 3.1 (release Date: 2011-10-24)
This enables support for the NX hardware cryptographic accelerator
coprocessor that is in IBM PowerPC P7+ or later processors. This
does not actually enable any drivers, it only allows you to select
which acceleration type (encryption and/or compression) to enable.
