41.html Bug -> glxsb does not support AES

At the 41.html was something written related to Geode CPUs wich is
maybe wrong.

"
New glxsb(4) driver for hardware random numbers and AES acceleration on
the AMD Geode LX processor.
"

But the Manpage of glxsb tells me:

"
BUGS
The glxsb driver does not yet use the AES acceleration provided by
the security block; it only uses the random number generator.
"
(Source:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=glxsb&sektion=4&arch=i386 )

So the announcement of the glxsb-Driver should be modified to point out
that AES is not supported yet otherwise it is maybe missleading.
Or the Manpage should updated for 4.1 if this status changed...


Kind regards,
Sebastian
