I'm not certain that is the correct way and that it won't have any
other side-effects.  I should have found some OpenSSL people to bug
about this, but I haven't gotten around to doing that yet.

Part of what worries me some, is that I can't find out why OpenSSL
stopped just using cryptodev by default, neither in docs nor in the
code.
