This approach will increase kernel size for those who are not using
t10dif so some people may object.
BTW, The PCLMULQDQ version does not need to be build in.

Your approach is quite complicated. I think something simpler like the
following will work:

crct10dif-pclmul.ko should not be loaded if
X86_FEATURE_PCLMULQDQ is not supported.
The module needs the cpu to have support for PCLMULQDQ.

This is not necessary. Keep it as tristate.
