So now things work if I have the following config: CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRCT10DIF=m CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRCT10DIF_PCLMUL=m CONFIG_CRC_T10DIF=m However, when I have the library and generic algorithm compiled in, I do not see the PCLMULQDQ version loaded. CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRCT10DIF=y CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRCT10DIF_PCLMUL=m CONFIG_CRC_T10DIF=y Perhaps I am initiating the crct10dif library at a really early stage when things are compiled in, where the module is not in initramfs? In that case, perhaps we should only allow PCLMUL version to be compiled in and not exist as a module?
