Well, how about letting arch specific assembler implementations
replace aes-generic
completely.. in this case add "depends on !X86" on
CRYPTO_AES_GENERIC. Hardware
modules get autoloaded (cpuid/pci/platform/etc) but generic
assembler implementation
might as well be replacement as it cannot autoload depending on
hardware support (or
it can, but will be always loaded).

Perhaps we can just force a modprobe of a given algorithm at least
once for each boot (when requested for the first time).  I think
that should be easy to implement and should solve your problem
scenario.

What do you think?

Well, that could work.
