/proc/cpuinfo hints at Armada XP so I thought mv_cesa crypto would be available but alas, no:
# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i cesa
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_MV_CESA=y
# grep -i cesa /proc/crypto
#
Shame. Does anyone know what CPU is that exactly? The Soc in the picture at techcrunch seems to have a Marvell logo.
edit: it's definitely marvell, dmesg references 370_xp clocksource, armada xp pincontrol and aurora L2 cache controller.
