For new installs, it seems adequate to base the number on the actual hardware,
assuming the CRYPTO volume will stay in that hardware for a while.
The current default of 16 is from old PKCS5 PBKDF2 times and changing it in
bioctl(8) is a more invasive change (for later, perhaps).
Thoughts? Feedback from the crypto folks appreciated.
On X230 and T14, 16 feels pretty instant, whereas 'auto' takes about a second
on a T14.
