When this is compiled in it is run too early to do anything useful:

[    6.052000] padlock: Using VIA PadLock ACE for SHA1/SHA256 algorithms.

When it's a module it isn't doing anything special, the same functionality can be provided in userspace by "probeall padlock padlock-aes padlock-sha" in modules.conf if it is required.

BTW, I noticed that this prevented CRYPTO_ALGAPI from being marked as m
since it was selected by CRYPTO_DEV_PADLOCK.  So I'm turning it into a
tristate again.

It should be a bool that doesn't select anything, the AES and SHA modules will select CRYPTO_ALGAPI. It could also depend on MVIAC3_2 || MVIA_C7 instead of X86_32.
