iwd will not start due to kernel config

[gearhead]

I built this for rpi3 (buildarch=8) and have had reasonable success. Thanks for providing it. Confused as to why it is not available from Arch ARM...
The only thing I found that did not work on my test system was iwd. wpa_supplicant does run, but iwd requires some features to be turned on in the kernel that config8 does not or as set as modules . Once I turned them on and rebuilt the kernel and installed it, iwd now works again. I do not know if all of these are what is required, but I compared the settings to my regular kernel build and these are what I saw as different (updated on left, yours on right) I used this to build the now running image 64 bit kernel 64 bit user space:
$ diff config8 config8.moon

566,567c566,567
< CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA256_ARM64=y
< CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA512_ARM64=y
---
> CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA256_ARM64=m
> CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA512_ARM64=m
575c575
< CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_ARM64=y
---
> CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_ARM64=m
582c582
< CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_ARM64_BS=y
---
> CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_ARM64_BS=m
7129c7129
< CONFIG_KEY_DH_OPERATIONS=y
---
> # CONFIG_KEY_DH_OPERATIONS is not set
7311c7311
< CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH=y
---
> # CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH is not set

It may be just these 2, but I have not re-built it to test:

CONFIG_KEY_DH_OPERATIONS=y
CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH=y

Previously, I would get this in the journal when I tried to run iwd:

I'll have a look at the config, thanks.

It isn't included in the official repos because (hopefully this is the last time I have to explain this):

1. It is not officially supported by RaspberryPi foundation
2. Kevin will not maintain a package (and understandably so) that isn't officially supported by raspberrypi foundation.
3. I'm not maintaining this regularly enough for it to be in the official repo.
