OK, I think you're correct. >>> If that isn't enough you could also create a >>> KernelPackage/ssb/brcm47xx (see e.g. crypto-misc, which as a x86 >>> variant, or crypto-sha512 which even has a x86_64 one).

So far I only started playing with this, but yes, that was my initial idea. I don't know if I'll implement it yet.
