I initially made it unconditional, but then I found that it can easily
hang the machine during boot due to any import/export bug in any of
the hash drivers. So I used this .partial flag to guard against this
risk. Only when an author is confident that his driver can do this
test, should he add this flag. What do you think?

Well if they're buggy they may crash anyway.  Considering that all the buggy
drivers have probably been disabled for the time being I'd say let's make it
unconditional.

You are right the ahash drivers are already disabled. The shash drivers using
cryptd or mcryptd are probably OK by now. I'll do some tests.

Thanks
