Hmmm.

There are an awful lot of kernels out there (for non-x86 architectures) 
that do not have opencrypto.  At least, they do not have criov.o which 
is listed in files.opencrypto:

file    opencrypto/criov.c              opencrypto

I've built hundreds of kernels for dozens of $MACHINES as part of my 
periodic search-for-broken-builds, and just searched the kernel build 
directories for criov.o ...  Just as an example, for evbmips-el a 
'build.sh release' creates 13 separate kernels, but only 3 of them have 
criov.o; for evbearm-el, 8 out of 58 kernels have criov.o, and for 
mac68k the numbers are 0 out of 4.

Certainly looks optional to me... :)
