Re: [PATCH 0/2] Improve sequence number generation.

[Ted Ts'o]

Here's a random thought --- it won't help on anything other than
modern x86's, but who's to say we have to use the same algorithm on
all platforms?  Does the AES-NI facility provide enough of a speedup
that it's worth using it instead of MD5, at least on modern x86
systems which have this support?
