Yes, but the padlock driver is located under drivers/crypto. The s390 crypto stuff is not. It is under arch/s390/crypto, thats why the Kconfig file is there... Both solutions (the current and your proposed) are somehow ugly. I don't care too much, where the Kconfig entries are, as long as it works. So if you're interested in changing it go forward and post a patch...
