We added the soft module dependency of various crypto algorithm's module alias
 to generic crypto algorithm's module. This loads hardware accelerated
 modules and uses them when available.

This is great, but have any of the module load utilties been modified to
recognize and handle soft dependencies in the modinfo section? Last I checked
they hadn't.  Do you plan to add that functionality?

Rusty,

Do you know if the upstream modprobe has the fixes (or plan) to
recognize soft dependencies?  I was under the impression that it
is the case.

Thanks.
