I tried this patch on x86_64 with AES-NI and also on system with
SSE but without AES-NI and it works as expected now
(module is loaded only on demand and optimized one is used if available).
If it is worth it, add

Any chance it could still reach 4.18?
Without this patch it actually crashes kernel on x86_64 without AES-NI
but with SSE flags, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1610180#c4
Thanks,
