"select" cannot tell /sbin/depmod that there is dependency, for /sbin/depmod
calculates dependency by enumerating symbols in each module rather than by
parsing Kconfig files which depends on "kernel-source_files_installed = y".
Therefore, I think possible solutions are either
(a) built-in the dependent modules
# grep crc /lib/modules/3.11.0-rc1+/modules.dep
kernel/drivers/scsi/sd_mod.ko: kernel/lib/crc-t10dif.ko
kernel/lib/crc-t10dif.ko:
or
(b) embed explicit reference to the dependent module's symbols
# grep crc /lib/modules/3.11.0-rc1+/modules.dep
kernel/arch/x86/crypto/crct10dif-pclmul.ko: kernel/crypto/crct10dif.ko
kernel/crypto/crct10dif.ko:
kernel/drivers/scsi/sd_mod.ko: kernel/lib/crc-t10dif.ko kernel/arch/x86/crypto/crct10dif-pclmul.ko kernel/crypto/crct10dif.ko
kernel/lib/crc-t10dif.ko: kernel/arch/x86/crypto/crct10dif-pclmul.ko kernel/crypto/crct10dif.ko
.
Two patches ((a) and (b) respectively) follow, but I think patch (b) will not
work unless additional change
static int __init crct10dif_intel_mod_init(void)
{
if (x86_match_cpu(crct10dif_cpu_id))
return crypto_register_shash(&alg);
return 0;
}
static void __exit crct10dif_intel_mod_fini(void)
{
if (x86_match_cpu(crct10dif_cpu_id))
crypto_unregister_shash(&alg);
}
is made, for currently crct10dif-pclmul.ko cannot be loaded on
!X86_FEATURE_MATCH(X86_FEATURE_PCLMULQDQ) systems.

Subject: [PATCH 3.11-rc1] crypto: Fix boot failure due to module dependency.
Commit 2d31e518 "crypto: crct10dif - Wrap crc_t10dif function all to use crypto
transform framework" was added without telling that "crc-t10dif.ko depends on
crct10dif.ko". This resulted in boot failure because "sd_mod.ko depends on
crc-t10dif.ko" but "crct10dif.ko is not loaded automatically".
Fix this by changing crct10dif.ko and crct10dif-pclmul.ko from "tristate" to
"bool" so that suitable version is chosen.
