-	  Enable openssl cryptodev (OCF) hardware acceleration support.
-	  This requires the ocf linux kernel extension or you to provide a
-	  pre-patched kernel that includes it.
-	  If kernel support isn't available it'll just make the libraries
-	  a tiny bit larger with a small CPU overhead when starting up and
-	  checking for the required kernel-side support, and then falling
-	  back to regular builtin support.
