BTW, I'd like to extend this request to the implementation names
(.cra_driver_name) and the names of the files as well.  I.e., instead of:

    aes-riscv64-zvkned
    aes-riscv64-zvkb-zvkned
    aes-riscv64-zvbb-zvkg-zvkned
    sha256-riscv64-zvkb-zvknha_or_zvknhb
    sha512-riscv64-zvkb-zvknhb

... we'd have:

    aes-riscv64-zvkned
    aes-riscv64-zvkned-zvkb
    aes-riscv64-zvkned-zvbb-zvkg
    sha256-riscv64-zvknha_or_zvknhb-zvkb
    sha512-riscv64-zvknhb-zvkb

and similarly for the cra_driver_name fields.

I think that's much more logical.  Do you agree?
