That's what module_cpu_feature_match() does. (Note that module_cpu_feature_match() can't be used here, as it seems the intent is for this module to be autoloaded when PMULL is detected, but still be loadable without it. So, that's apparently the reason for using MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() directly.) - Eric
