So I have done some more testing with our SoC crypto engine, using 
tcrypt module. The reason I used this device was because we can utilise 
a local device per socket in the system, unlike other DMAing devices, 
which generally only exist on a single socket (for us, anyway).

Overall the results aren't brilliant - as expected - but show a general 
marginal improvement. Here's some figures:
