When working on crypto algorithms, being able to run tcrypt quickly without booting an entire Linux installation can be very useful. For instance, QEMU/kvm can be used to boot a kernel from the command line, and having tcrypt.ko builtin would allow tcrypt to be executed to run benchmarks, or to run tests for algorithms that need to be instantiated from templates, without the need to make it past the point where the rootfs is mounted. So let's relax the requirement that tcrypt can only be built as a module when CONFIG_EXPERT is enabled.

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.
