Hifn driver in SMP (was Re: GELI - disk encryption GEOM class committed.)

Actually, it seems I can easily lock up the box with

/usr/bin/openssl aes-128-cbc -in big -k pass | ssh -c aes128-cbc 
mdtancsa_at_127.0.0.1 "cat - >  /home/mdtancsa/targetfile.enc"

Is the hifn driver perhaps not fully smp safe ?
