As per
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1085115/comments/7
-> Won't Fix for Trusty.

Joseph Salisbury, it appears there are at least two separate issues here:
1) The Hifn 7955 crypto accelerator doesn't have PAE/amd64 driver support. As I'm not sure, ould you know the maintainer for this?

2) if Koen Hendrix wanted to utilize a non-PAE/amd64 kernel in a
Quantal+ release, wouldn't all that needs to occur is just adjust the
appropriate config flags and rebuild the kernel via
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel ?

  my Hifn 7955 crypto accelerator doesn't get used anymore. it's a PCI-card; dmesg doesn't report it, lspci says it's still there:

  in the past, there was the hifn_795x.ko module; that module gave
  problems on 64bit systems. anyway, on a 32bit system, it seems the
  module doesn't get compiled anymore...
