Changes beyond OpenBSD's driver:
- Improved support for AMD K8
- Added support for AMD Barcelona, AMD Phenom and AMD Griffin
Tested on various single and multi-socket machines.
Review and OK xtreame
* Asynchronous operation with result retrieval via select/poll
* Mutliple-request submit/retrieve ioctls
* Mutliple-session create-destroy ioctls
Revise/rewrite crypto.4 manual page. It should now be much easier to write
new applications to this API.
Measured performance for trivial requests: 84,000 very short modular math
operations/sec, 120,000 very short md5 hashes per sec (with a hardware
accellerator of moderate performance but very low latency, whose driver
will be contributed at a later date).

device in the Fintek LPC Super I/O chips, this includes the following
list:
- F71805F
- F71806F
- F71862FG
- F71872F
- F71882
- F71883F
This has been adapted from the fins(4) driver available in OpenBSD, which
only supported F71805F.
Tobias Nygren <tnn> and myself added support for the other chips; thanks go
to Tobias for testing the driver with a Fintek F71882 chip.
and so on. Significant highlights:
- mention src/tests and reference atf;
- provide examples of MACHINE and MACHINE_ARCH;
- mention that MKOBJ=no is not recommended;
- correct the description of the default setting of USETOOLS;
- document the interactions of build.sh -[uo] with various things;
- document the interactions of build.sh tools and kernel=FOO;
- use a lot fewer parentheses.
Discussed on netbsd-docs.

More roadmaps will be forthcoming.
The dates in these documents may well change, and are provided for guidance
on relative, not absolute, timescales.
