Subject: [PATCH] DM-CRYPT: Scale to multiple CPUs v3 on 2.6.37-rc* ?

Hi guys,

before diving into testing out 2.6.37-rc* kernels I wanted to make
sure that the patch:

[dm-devel] [PATCH] DM-CRYPT: Scale to multiple CPUs v3

is safe to use with e.g. >2.6.37-rc1 kernels

I know that it's not a "fix all" patch but it significantly seems to
speed up my backup jobs (by factor 2-3)
and 2.6.37* has evolved that much that interactivity isn't hurt too much

Thanks !

Matt
