Linux 3.14 Supports AMD's Cryptographic Coprocessor

Nuuuuuu. This is about offloading Crypto-based calls to a dedicated piece of hardware so that it isn't clogging up the main processor. Its a pretty common practice amongst ARM devices as far as I can tell, since they aren't as powerful as x86. They'll have the main ARM CPU for the main stuff, and then dedicated pieces of hardware for video decoding (and now crypto), since they are dedicated they can optimized for that ONE task and be able to do it faster and with using less power.

Thanks for the explanation. Here I thought would get Netflix on Linux soonish. Though, I guess we will eventually get a full HTML implementation...

Anyone knows if the Platform Security Processor on AMD APUS like the Athlon 3000G has the CCP?
