I don't see the point of this patch.  Any users of these modules
would be requesting for their alias and not their real name.  So
either it'll already load all the hardware modules or it won't load
the generic version either.

For example, if you request blowfish you'll get every module that
has the alias blowfish.  As the software version is called blowfish_generic
it will be treated no differently than any hardware accelerated
version.

Cheers,
