Don't refuse to load modules on certain CPUs and print a message
to the console. Instead, load the module but don't register the
crypto functions, and report this condition via a new module
suboptimal_x86 module parameter with this description:
Crypto driver not registered because performance on this CPU would be suboptimal
Reword the descriptions of the existing force module parameter
to match this modified behavior:
force: Force crypto driver registration on suboptimal CPUs
Make the new module parameters readable via sysfs:
/sys/module/blowfish_x86_64/parameters/suboptimal_x86:0
/sys/module/camellia_x86_64/parameters/suboptimal_x86:0
/sys/module/des3_ede_x86_64/parameters/suboptimal_x86:1
/sys/module/twofish_x86_64_3way/parameters/suboptimal_x86:1
If the module has been loaded and is reporting suboptimal_x86=1,
remove it to try loading again:
modprobe -r blowfish_x86_64
modprobe blowfish_x86_64 force=1
or specify it on the kernel command line:
blowfish_x86_64.force=1
