Re: [PATCH] crypto: crc32c-vpmsum - Convert to CPU feature based module autoloading

Hi Michael,
Is VEC_CRYPTO the right feature?

That's new power8 crypto stuff.
The vpmsum* instructions are part of the same pipeline as the vcipher*
instructions, introduced in POWER8.
I thought this only used VMX? (but I haven't looked closely)
Yes, vcipher* and vpmsum* are VMX instructions.
