There was no problem in the kernel.

However, if you load the aes module in initramfs (due to hard disk
encryption), the version of kmod is used that was installed when you
generated the initramfs.

As I said, older kmod versions had a bug that would - under certain
circumstances - fail to load aesni_intel. After a kmod or udev update, I
advise you to run 'mkinitcpio -p linux' so that the latest versions of
kmod and udev are used during early boot.
