Fair enough, though it won't break anything if it's enabled and you 
lack OCF support on the kernel side.
Similar to what would happen if you don't load the appropiate modules 
or lack hardware support.

Yes.
For the moment we've got OpenSSL and maybe Openswan that uses OCF.
Of course anything that links to OpenSSL uses OCF when it's properly 
enabled on supporting hardware.
