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.

From NHM processor onward, Intel processors can support hardware accelerated
CRC32c algorithm with the new CRC32 instruction in SSE 4.2 instruction set.
The patch detects the availability of the feature, and chooses the most proper
way to calculate CRC32c checksum.
Byte code instructions are used for compiler compatibility.
No MMX / XMM registers is involved in the implementation.
