Add support for auto-loading of crypto drivers based on cpuid features.
This enables auto-loading of the VIA and Intel specific drivers
for AES, hashing and CRCs.
Requires the earlier infrastructure patch to add x86 modinfo.
I kept it all in a single patch for now.
I dropped the printks when the driver cpuid doesn't match (imho
drivers never should print anything in such a case)
One drawback is that udev doesn't know if the drivers are used or not,
so they will be unconditionally loaded at boot up. That's better
than not loading them at all, like it often happens.

When renaming kernel_fpu_using to irq_fpu_usable, the semantics of the
function is changed too, from mesuring whether kernel is using FPU,
that is, the FPU is NOT available, to measuring whether FPU is usable,
that is, the FPU is available.
But the usage of irq_fpu_usable in ghash-clmulni-intel_glue.c is not
changed accordingly. This patch fixes this.

PCLMULQDQ is used to accelerate the most time-consuming part of GHASH,
carry-less multiplication. More information about PCLMULQDQ can be
found at:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/carry-less-multiplication-and-its-usage-for-computing-the-gcm-mode/
Because PCLMULQDQ changes XMM state, its usage must be enclosed with
kernel_fpu_begin/end, which can be used only in process context, the
acceleration is implemented as crypto_ahash. That is, request in soft
IRQ context will be defered to the cryptd kernel thread.
