I tried to do this, but I failed. Because virtio_crypto.ko
consists of more than one source file which include tree files currently,
and virtio_crypto.ko matchs the name of virtio_crypto.c.
That's different with all other virtio drivers.

The Makefile can't address this situation well, I googled it, and I find a way 
in
 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13606075/building-a-kernel-module-from-several-source-files-which-one-of-them-has-the-sam

 Proper way to fix in kernel make file would be as:

# 
obj-m += module.o

#append other source files except module.c which would be include by default
module-objs += src1.o src2.o

Unfortunately it doesn't work because virtio_crypto.c isn't compiled.

# insmod virtio_crypto.ko 
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module virtio_crypto.ko: Unknown symbol in 
module

# dmesg
[74339.311801] virtio_crypto: Unknown symbol virtqueue_is_broken (err 0)

[74339.311860] virtio_crypto: Unknown symbol crypto_unregister_algs (err 0)

It seems that I have no choice but to name the module to 'virtio-crypto' for 
simplicity.
