It is part of the init code for the crc32 module in the kernel: static int __init crc32c_sparc64_mod_init(void) { if (sparc64_has_crc32c_opcode()) { pr_info("Using sparc64 crc32c opcode optimized CRC32C implementation\n"); return crypto_register_shash(&alg); } pr_info("sparc64 crc32c opcode not available.\n"); return -ENODEV; } So expect to see it only when the module is loaded - likely during boot.
