r226840 did not update description of affected behavior in geli(8) manpage. Fix: Strike line stating that only one thread will be started when using hardware crypto acceleration. Patch attached with submission follows: How-To-Repeat: man geli Search for "kern.geom.eli.threads". Observe that following r226840, number of threads is not limited when, e.g., AESNI instructions are available.
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-doc->gjb I'll take it.
