    AIX 7.1 lists "hardware acceleration" for filesystem encryption as a new feature.

    Is this a AES-NI register similar to Xeon in the hardware? Also does it apply to OpenSSL as a registered hardware engine?

    Anyone running 7.1 care to share the output of "openssl engine" ? What about JRE? It would be nice of mod_ssl/apache or Tomcat could take advantage of it as well.

    Thanks, ~Brian
