No, because the build will fail if we don't select CRYPTO_BLKCIPHER and
CRYPTO_AES. It that case you can add a #ifdef CONFIG_CRYTO... to avoid the
build failure and comment that you need to enable such features. But I think
that would be better to add an Kconfig option for SMP in this case instead of
document somewhere that we need to enable some other options in the kernel to
have SMP working.
