Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/5] cpu: add generic support for CPU feature based module autoloading

Hello Greg,

Would you care to comment on this patch?

It adds some Kconfig clutter, but this is removed again in the next patch
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=139101443708663&w=2),
which has already been acked by hpa here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=139101589509168&w=2

Example enabling it for arm64:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=139101486308822&w=2

Example using it (optional AES instructions on arm64):
http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=139101446008665&w=2

Best regards,
Ard.
