Samba supports using AES acceleration instructions (at least Intel's aesni).
It can be enabled with './configure --accel-aes=aesni'.

This doesn't seem to be useful, actually.

In this presentation [0], it's shown that gnutls + aesni if available is preferred, and there is a warning about using aesni in the source, so I'll close this.
