aes-ni support in kvm linode
I noticed that the aes-ni cpuflag isn't exposed to kvm guests.
Is there any specific reason for this or does my kernel has a problem detecting it ?
I'm running version 4.1.3 of the kernel, so it should be recent enough to support it.

I just want to be sure thats not a kernel issue.
Here are the detected flags:

Might want to ask Linode support about migrating you to a KVM Linode with aes enabled
