- Support for Power7+ in-Nest cryptographic acceleration.
+ This enables support for the NX hardware cryptographic accelerator
+ coprocessor that is in IBM PowerPC P7+ or later processors. This
+ does not actually enable any drivers, it only allows you to select
+ which acceleration type (encryption and/or compression) to enable.
