It seems that we can build a module that works as an engine for openssl
withouth having to patch openssl, that would be the best way to enable
aesni if debian openssl default package don't include aesni support,
however the makefile give some errors:

gcc -fPIC -O -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall   -c -o e_intel_accel.o
e_intel_accel.c
