The T10 CRC library function is built into the kernel and therefore
registered early. The hardware-accelerated CRC helpers are typically
loaded as modules and only become available later in the boot
sequence. A separate patch modifies the T10 CRC library to subscribe
to notifications from crypto and permits switching from the
table-based algorithm to a hardware accelerated ditto once the
relevant module is loaded.
However, since the dependency for "crc10dif" is already satisfied,
nothing is going to cause the hardware-accelerated kernel modules to
get loaded. Introduce an init_fn in the integrity profile that can be
called to trigger a load of modules providing the T10 CRC calculation
capability. This function will ony get called when a new integrity
profile is registered during device discovery.
