I did a prototype scheduler (never committed) that took into account 
per-device performance metrics and outstanding operations.  The s/w 
crypto driver was just part of the mix.  As a result fallback on 
overload and using s/w crypto for small operands (where the setup 
overhead is too costly) just fell out.
