Ok if the crypto request_module is changed it makes more sense to change zpool's use of request_module; it looks like there are a couple other places in the kernel using prefixes/aliases (although it's not universal). I still suggest moving the MODULE_ALIAS() into zbud/zsmalloc's #ifdef CONFIG_ZPOOL, though.
