It has been observed that in zero-loss benchmarks, when a
slow traffic rate is being tested, the IRQ timer coalescing
parameter was set too high, and the ethernet controller
would start dropping packets because the job ring back half
wouldn't be executed in time before the ethernet controller
would fill its buffers, thereby significantly reducing the
zero-loss performance figures.
Empirical testing has shown that the best zero-loss performance
is achieved when IRQ coalescing is set to minimum values and/or
turned off, since apparently the job ring driver already implements
an adequately-performing general-purpose IRQ mitigation strategy
in software.
Whilst we could go with minimal count (2-8) and timing settings
(192-256), we prefer just turning h/w coalescing altogether off
to minimize setkey latency (due to split key generation), and
for consistent cross-SoC performance (the SEC vs. core clock
ratio changes).

caam_read copies random bytes from two buffers into output.
caam rng can fill empty buffer 0xffff bytes at a time,
but the buffer sizes are rounded down to multiple of cacheline size.

The SEC4 supercedes the SEC2.x/3.x as Freescale's
Integrated Security Engine. Its programming model is
incompatible with all prior versions of the SEC (talitos).
The SEC4 is also known as the Cryptographic Accelerator
and Assurance Module (CAAM); this driver is named caam.
This initial submission does not include support for Data Path
mode operation - AEAD descriptors are submitted via the job
ring interface, while the Queue Interface (QI) is enabled
for use by others. Only AEAD algorithms are implemented
at this time, for use with IPsec.
Many thanks to the Freescale STC team for their contributions
to this driver.
