q: Will later loading of pcbc (so intel-aseni loaded from initrd, no pcbc available, rootfs gets mounted; pcbc is loaded) enable its "functionality" for intel-aesni just like it would be available at intel-aesni load time ?
No it won't but it's no big deal as pcbc(aes) isn't actually used anywhere so it's really just an example of using fpu. AFAIK pcbc is only ever used with fcrypt.
