This series has been tested using openssl to validate the hashes against
md5sum, sha1sum, sha224sum, sha256sum and sha512sum programs of every
program in my /bin directory, which checks correct functioning of the
hashing.

It has also been tested with openssh, where the crypto hardware is used
via openssl by sshd, which makes use of accept() and hence tests the
export/import paths.
