 Based on comments in macppc's GENERIC config file, this might not be
 possible:
 
 ...
 # PCI cryptographic devices
 # (disabled, requires opencrypto framework which requires generic softints
 #hifn*  at pci? dev ? function ?        # Hifn 7755/7811/795x
 #ubsec* at pci? dev ? function ?        # Broadcom 5501/5601/580x/582x
 ...
 #pseudo-device  crypto                  # /dev/crypto device
                                          # (disabled, requires generic softints)
 #pseudo-device  swcrypto                # software crypto implementation
 ...
 
 Are "generic softints" still not available on macppc?
