How to use pcrypt module for luks xts aes?

The pcrypt module in theory should allow for multi-threaded decryption...  I can't figure out how to get it enabled for aes xts.

The only real resource I've found is:

https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/st … iki/Pcrypt

In their example I am able to get "authenc(hmac(sha256),cbc(aes))" loaded with the pcrypt driver, but I've had no luck with any of the aes/aesni/xts-aes.

tcrypt alg="pcrypt(authenc(hmac(sha256),cbc(aes)))" type=3

This is a pretty new feature (2.6.34) so it may not really get looked at until it hits LTS I'm thinking.  Any help would be appreciated.
