Thanks Paul for this patch.
I am struggling with the change as I still like to build the ap device driver as a kernel module.
It makes the development cycle somewhat easier to have this possibility with just a oneline
change in the Makefile (replace obj-$(subst m,y,$(CONFIG_ZCRYPT)) += ap.o
with obj-$(CONFIG_ZCRYPT) += ap.o).

However, you are right. As the ap driver is official not supported as a module the module
code may get removed. Let me think about this some hours ...
