Public bug reported:
Google reports: For a n1-standard-2 with ubuntu-1604, we spend around
600 milliseconds during boot on computing the best raid6 recovery
algorithm seen in the following lines of the kernel logs:
...

[ 2.791196] raid6: using avx2x2 recovery algorithm
...
This raid6 computation is a result of including the raid6_pq module
statically. Based on the output of `lsmod`, is there any reason this
couldn't just be used as a module?
