It is just workaround for the crypto backend (there was not a reliable way to get some
information from kernel without crypto module already loaded), I will either add some more
dynamic option or add the sha384 to the list (despite I am not sure why you want to use it :).

Please could you just create a new issue for it to not forget about it?
