No, what I mean is that whenever we look up an algorithm through
crypto_alg_mod_lookup, we should conditionally call modprobe if
we havn't done so already.

So you just need to record one bit of info in each crypto_alg
object to indicate whether we have invoked modprobe.  I suggest
adding a CRYPTO_ALG_* bit.

Cheers,
