 UltraSPARC T2 (Niagara 2) and Solaris crypto

I am thrilled to see the cryptographic performance of the UltraSPARC T2 (Niagara 2) processor highlighted in today's launch. I would highly recommend listening to the audio clip in this page featuring Lawrence Spracklen who talks about the crypto features of this processor. I have been working on making the Solaris crypto framework take full advantage of the hardware crypto acceleration. We focused both on reducing the latency and improving the scalability. One interesting fix is 65270071 and the follow up fix 6533554 . Maintaining good scalability while running with 64 threads means we can get the best overall crypto throughput.
