I tried to be consistent with the existing ciphers in arch/x86/crypto.
In serpent_sse2_glue.c and sha1_ssse3_glue.c it is done exactly that way, so if
it will be decided to remove the printk in this patch it probably should also
be removed in the other modules.

They are wrong and need to be fixed.

Drivers can be loaded for all kinds of reasons, but they are not supposed
to spam your kernel log when they do nothing.

In fact I fixed all the existing ones with the cpuid changes, unfortunately
somehow snuck in wrong code :-(
Hm, ok, removing the printk stuff is no big deal. I would fix this together
with the cpuid probing, when I'm sure that this is the preferred "new" way :-)
