+same_cpu_crypt
+ Perform encryption using the same cpu that IO was submitted on.
+ The default is to use an unbound workqueue so that encryption work
+ is automatically balanced between available CPUs.

+submit_from_crypt_cpus
+ Disable offloading writes to a separate thread after encryption.
+ There are some situations where offloading write bios from the
+ encryption threads to a single thread degrades performance
+ significantly. The default is to offload write bios to the same
+ thread because it benefits CFQ to have writes submitted using the

LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup) is now the preferred way to set up disk
