I was hoping to take advantage of it in openssl, ssh, and geli, which
would just happen if it was part of crypto.. I'll just keep watching
then, thanks!

I'm wondering what the status is of AES-NI in 8-STABLE? I can find
references to it being put into 9 back in July, with the note that it
would be MFC'ed within a month, but as far as I've been able to find,
nothing after that.
As a public service, since I already got several private mails,
I will state the current situation:
AESNI merge depends on the merge of r208833 and a lot of followups to
r208833. The merge of r208833 needs r208453, that was committed to stable/8
only recently, since it required an approval from r...@.
This delay together with lack of the time recently on my side makes me
skeptical about chances to have aesni(4) in 8.2.
Please note that aesni(4) is not needed to use AESNI in usermode.
Did I miss something? Does it just need testing? How can I go about
doing that? I'd like to help!
Thanks,
