Speeding up Linux disk encryption
Has anyone already tried to compile the kernel with these patches for their desktop/laptop with encrypted drive?

Yes, I'm running them on kernel 5.5.13 (which came out today)

Wow, I'd be so happy if you could share the steps you took to achieve this. Let's say I have a Debian machine, how could I try it out?

I use Gentoo Linux so it was as easy as putting the patches in a directory, and then rebuilding the kernel with the option to enable the synchronous cipher.
For Debian it's almost as easy:
