This series wires up the crypto modules that use the ARM 32-bit versions of
the ARMv8 Crypto Extensions to udev autoloading, by exposing the HWCAP2
feature bits via the CPU modalias. This is very similar to the arm64
implementation, with the notable exception that ARM has its CPU feature
definitions split across HWCAP and HWCAP2.

Given that the crypto feature bits are all exposed via HWCAP2, and considering
that there are currently no features exposed via HWCAP that are relevant to
udev module autoloading, exposing HWCAP2 only should be sufficient, at least
for now.

Note to Herbert: patches #2 - #5 all depend on #1, which requires an ack from
Russell, so please don't pull anything until #1 has been acked and/or merged.

Wire up the generic support for exposing CPU feature bits via the
modalias in /sys/device/system/cpu. This allows udev to automatically
load modules for things like crypto algorithms that are implemented
using optional instructions.

Make the module autoloadable by tying it to the CPU feature bit that
describes whether the optional instructions it relies on are implemented
by the current CPU.

Russell,

do you have any concerns regarding this patch? If not, I will drop it
into the patch system.

Herbert,

I will resend the followup patches in this series to linux-crypto@
once this prerequisite is in place

Thanks,
Ard.

It's still something I need to look at... I've been offline last week,
and sort-of offline the previous week, so I'm catching up.

None, and the patch is well buried now that it'll take me a while to
find... back in mid-October?  Yea, I'll have to drop everything and
go digging through my mailboxes to find it... and I'm just catching
up (again) after a week and a bit's time offline - yep, it's wonderful
timing.  Sorry, no time to look at it right now, you're not the only
one wanting my attention at the moment.

Please try again in about a week's time - don't leave it a few months,
and please include the patch.

No worries. It is not exactly urgent, but it is a useful enhancement
nonetheless.
