Hmm, yes, I didn't build modules on alpha (sorry).  It would probably be
best to fix the spl stuff and let the crypto modules be built since the
crypto h/w drivers should be usable as soon as the bus dma support is
working.  I'm still waffling about whether or not to MFC the fast ipsec code
in which case the crypto code will be needed.

So I guess my preference would for your first patch.  Unfortunately I don't
know of an alpha running -stable to test with.  If someone can verify the
spl patch works then I'll commit it for you.
