OK, so you mean each struct crypto_alg should define something like a 'cra_optimized_name' for which request_module(alg->cra_optimized_name) is called somewhere in libcrypto code..?
No, what I mean is that whenever we look up an algorithm through crypto_alg_mod_lookup, we should conditionally call modprobe if we havn't done so already. So you just need to record one bit of info in each crypto_alg object to indicate whether we have invoked modprobe. I suggest adding a CRYPTO_ALG_* bit.
