For what its worth - another datapoint - on my lenovo w520 it loads
automatically

# lsmod | egrep aes
aesni_intel            47378  66
aes_x86_64              7508  1 aesni_intel
cryptd                  8309  17 aesni_intel
aes_generic            26138  2 aes_x86_64,aesni_intel

and I have (tho I cannot say one way or another on earlier kernel/kmod)

pacman -Q linux kmod
linux 3.2.6-1
kmod 5-4
