VIA PadLock suupport does not work.
I have enabled VIA PadLock support in TOR by adding the following lines to torrc config file: HardwareAccel 1 AccelName padlock
Since TOR prefers AES-128-GCM over AES-128/256-CBC I have disabled all AES-GCM algirithms in src/common/ciphers.inc file - this is required to test Via PadLock. I am aware that AES-GCM is more secure than AES-CBC but AES-GCM is NOT supported by VIA PadLock. After this modification I see in tcpdump that client and server agreed to use AES-256-CBC (0xc014) which is supported by VIA Padlock.
During startup in debug log file created by TOR I see the following messages: ... Mar 29 14:09:39.000 [notice] Tor 0.2.7.0-alpha-dev (git-4e4ee768fb796f5d) opening log file.

Additionally I have executed openssl quick test:

I started to test this configuration and I have quickly realized that HW offload is NOT used. After attaching to pid of the TOR daemon with perf I have the following statistics:

It looks like SSE implementation of AES is in use and looks like SHA1 is NOT offloaded too.
