The accelerated, instruction based implementations of SHA1, SHA2 and SHA3 are autoloaded based on CPU capabilities, given that the code is modest in size, and widely used, which means that resolving the algo name, loading all compatible modules and picking the one with the highest priority is taken to be suboptimal. However, if these algorithms are requested before this CPU feature based matching and autoloading occurs, these modules are not even considered, and we end up with suboptimal performance. So add the missing module aliases for the various SHA implementations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
