Subject: virtio-crypto: Inquiry about virtio crypto

Hi gonglei,

    I am investigating how to use HW crypto accelerator in VM. It seems 
that virtio-crypto is one option, however only aes skcipher algo is 
supported and virtio-crypto device is not suggested by RHEL 10.
 
https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/10/html/configuring_and_managing_linux_virtual_machines/feature-support-and-limitations-in-rhel-10-virtualization

   I want to know what is the potential issued with virtio-crypto.

Regards
Bibo Mao
