After thinking I realized that he does not need to provide an alias
because his driver should be auto loaded due to the PCI-IDs right?

But while you mention it: Should the alias cbc(aes), etc. also be
provided by the s390 and padlock driver which don't have PCI-IDs?
Currently they have the aes alias (what they also provide) so it might
be enough.
