crypto: Add support for x86 cpuid auto loading for x86 crypto drivers
Add support for auto-loading of crypto drivers based on cpuid features. This enables auto-loading of the VIA and Intel specific drivers for AES, hashing and CRCs. Requires the earlier infrastructure patch to add x86 modinfo. I kept it all in a single patch for now. I dropped the printks when the driver cpuid doesn't match (imho drivers never should print anything in such a case) One drawback is that udev doesn't know if the drivers are used or not, so they will be unconditionally loaded at boot up. That's better than not loading them at all, like it often happens.
