| |
When the aes-intel module is loaded on a system that does not have the AES instructions, it prints
Intel AES-NI instructions are not detected.
at level KERN_ERR. Since aes-intel is aliased to "aes" it will be tried whenever anything uses AES and spam the console. This doesn't match existing practice for how to handle "no hardware" when initializing a module, so downgrade the message to KERN_INFO.
