Hmmm...random idea of the day (which I can't test right now):

Using a crypto means that device-mapper calls crypto_alloc_tfm -->
crypto_alg_mod_lookup --> try_then_request_module --> request_module,
which does a modprobe of a module with the same name as the crypto.

Perhaps "depmod -ae" needs to be executed after the crypto-modules-$kvers
module has been downloaded and unpacked?
