Yes, I thought that. But is it really the case that doing it
asynchronous increases the latency? I tried this some time
ago and as far as I remember there was not too much difference
between the direct and the asynchronous case. Might depend
on the usecase of course.

This would be the second option. We may need to adjust the
maximum cryptd queue lenght then, as the networking receive
softirq might enqueue a lot of packets before cryptd can
process them.
