Some VIA processors come with an integrated crypto engine
(so called VIA PadLock ACE, Advanced Cryptography Engine)
operations with supported algorithms.
The instructions are used only when the CPU supports them.
- Otherwise software encryption is used. If you are unsure,
- say Y.
+ Otherwise software encryption is used.

+ Selecting M for this option will compile a helper module
+ padlock.ko that should autoload all below configured
+ algorithms. Don't worry if your hardware does not support
+ some or all of them. In such case padlock.ko will
+ simply write a single line into the kernel log informing
+ about its failure but everything will keep working fine.

+ If you are unsure, say M. The compiled module will be
