LOL. That's how we add a bit of excitement to our monotonous maintainer

I think we first need to get clarification from Russell whether the
problem is the number of hwcap bits used or just not willing to take new
ARMv8/AArch32 features in the 32-bit kernel.

If the latter, we can wait until AArch32 user space people start working
on optimised crypto libraries and restart the discussion at the time.
