Hello!

Can you please enable nx-crypto module on ppc64 arch for Power7+ cpus,
to enable crypto accelerators included with mentioned cpu.

Linux kernel config options:

CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_NX
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_NX_ENCRYPT
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_NX_COMPRESS
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_NX_COMPRESS_PSERIES
CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEV_NX_COMPRESS_POWERNV

(probably as modules)

Thanks.
