Bug#552270: Marvell CESA driver and Kirkwood

[lucorsel@gmail.com (L.C.)]

Gentlemen,

I understand from Martin Michmayr you are maintainers of the module, so 
I'm reporting you this.

mv_cesa when enabled on Kirkwood always causes an OOPS whenever openswan 
tries to use the AES module. I'm talking about 2.6.32.

I saw no problems anymore with mv_cesa disabled or blacklisted. Here 
comes the trace.

Cheers, L.C.

I got the following answer, so I'll go ahead and enable CESA for
Kirkwood.
