Roberto, James, speaking of digest cache. This patch set has no aim to
fix those issues but I do believe that it should improve also that 
feature.

If I don't get soon patch reviews for the patch set, I'll pick the 2nd
best option: disable bus encryption on all architectures including x86
and ARM64 (being by default on).

It's a force majeure situation. I know this would sort out the issue
but I really cannot send these as a pull request with zero reviewe-by's.

I expect this to be closed by tomorrow.

BR, Jarkko
