I can confirm that this is not the case, as I do use such a setup in my
laptop. lsmod only shows aes, but not aes-i586.

It would probably pop up if I had entered it in /etc/modules, but since
we cannot modify that file easily (you would need some magic to detect
the architecture and module name and stuff), it would be really great if
this wasn't really necessary.
