I am new to the mailing list and searching around has shown outdated posts
about multi-core support for kcryptd.

What is the current standing/ETA with adding SMP support for
encryption/decryption with kcryptd?  Linux is severely behind Windows on
volume encryption using only a single core.  With a quad-core CPU i am
getting 4x the decryption (400-500MB/sec) vs 100-150MB/sec with Linux.

Thanks for all of the hard work put into this!
