Here are some tests on 2 Marvell SoC (I do not have dove platforms at
hand and did not collect the results for A370):

- Kirkwood 88F6282 (Feroceon 88FR131 rev 1) at 1.6GHz
- Armada XP (mv78230, i.e. 2 core @1.2GHz)

The targets are AES ECB and CBC encryption (decryption is similar
performance-wise), done w/ tcrypt (mode=500 passed to tcrypt module).

For each SoC, the various tests done by tcrypt are the following:

AES ECB/CBC encryption:

t 0 (128 bit key, 16 byte blocks)
t 1 (128 bit key, 64 byte blocks)
t 2 (128 bit key, 256 byte blocks)
t 3 (128 bit key, 1024 byte blocks)
t 4 (128 bit key, 8192 byte blocks)
t 5 (192 bit key, 16 byte blocks)
t 6 (192 bit key, 64 byte blocks)
t 7 (192 bit key, 256 byte blocks)
t 8 (192 bit key, 1024 byte blocks)
t 9 (192 bit key, 8192 byte blocks)
t 10 (256 bit key, 16 byte blocks)
t 11 (256 bit key, 64 byte blocks)
t 12 (256 bit key, 256 byte blocks)
t 13 (256 bit key, 1024 byte blocks)
t 14 (256 bit key, 8192 byte blocks)

The three columns provide the value for software implementation
(aes-asm), current driver (if available for that SoC), submitted
v0. The percentage is the improvement against software
implementation.
