Hi

Here are patches for dm-crypt parallelization: 
http://people.redhat.com/mpatocka/patches/kernel/dm-crypt-paralelizace/

For each cpu, we create a kernel thread bound to that cpu. There is a 
global queue with sectors to be encrypted. We add requests to the queue 
and wake the per-cpu-threads. The threads pop requests from the queue and 
process them.
