Description
The /var/log/dmesg.boot snapshot file appears to be created too early in the boot process resulting in hardware crypto information being missing from the snapshot.
Attached are the /var/log/dmesg.boot file and the output of dmesg from my SG-4860.

Guys, this "method" is really pathetic. Not having things like /proc/cpuinfo does not help here, but what's exactly wrong with dmidecode at least as fallback method?

It's definitely less than ideal, especially given it doesn't reliably work. dmidecode is not an alternative though, as it doesn't show AES-NI capability. Even if it did, it wouldn't tell whether or not it's enabled.

Fixed in 2.3 (at least for AESNI - other types of hardware accelerators may need similar changes).
