What makes sure that all of the code is available automatically if the
CPU supports the instructions like before? I can see that all CRC32
related config options support also module build options.
Before this patch, this module and hence the fast crc32 variants were
loaded automatically when required CPU features were present.
Right now I don't how this is happening with this series.

I guess this should be changed to:
module_cpu_feature_match(S390_CPU_FEATURE_VXRS, ...);
Which would make at least the library functions available if cpu
features are present. But this looks only like a partial solution of
the above described problem.
But maybe I'm missing something.
