Subject: Heads up: Deimos Cryptographic Accelerator

The putback of the DCA project (PSARC 2005/477) moves the Deimos
Cryptographic Accelerator into Solaris.   The integrated SUNWdcar and
SUNWdcaf packages replace the unbundled versions.  Additionally, the DCA
driver will now support x86/x64 platforms as well as several native
Broadcom hardware devices.

A new Solaris related bug subcategory has been created to track DCA
specific issues:  solaris/solaris-crypto/dca.

Note: BFU's require that the user manually issue an add_drv command to
enable the driver if it was not previously installed (assuming you have
DCA recognized hardware installed).

add_drv -i '"pci14e4,5820" "pci14e4,5821" "pci14e4,5822"  "pci108e,5454"
"pci108e,5455" "pci108e,5456" "pci108e,5457"'  dca

The -i portion of this command must be entered as a single line because
of add_drv semantics.
