+.Sh NAME
+.Nm glxsb
+.Nd Geode LX Security Block crypto accelerator
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following lines in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device crypto"
+.Cd "device glxsb"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+glxsb_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the security block of the Geode LX series processors.
+The Geode LX is a member of the AMD Geode family
+of integrated x86 system chips.
+.Pp
+Driven by periodic checks for available data from the generator,
+.Nm
+supplies entropy to the
+.Xr random 4
+driver for common usage.
+.Pp
+.Nm
+also supports acceleration of AES-128-CBC operations for
+.Xr crypto 4 .
+It also registers itself to accelerate other HMAC algorithms, although
+there is no hardware acceleration for those algorithms.
+This is only needed so
+.Nm
+can work with
+.Xr ipsec 4 .
+.Sh CAVEAT
+The
+.Xr crypto 9
+framework will fail to open the crypto session on the device if the AES
+key's length is != 128 bits.
+This prevents the use of the
+.Nm
+device driver with AES keys of length != 128 bits.
