Hi all,

[Cc Herbert and Eric ]

FYI Herbert's view for using ELIBBAD instead of ENOENT (reply to Eric's question
whether using ELIBBAD in kernel is a good approach or bug) [1]:

"For the purpose of identifying FIPS-disabled algorithm (as opposed
to an algorithm that's not enabled in the kernel at all), I think
it is perfectly safe to use ELIBBAD instead of ENOENT in user-space."

I suppose that's justify my proposed changes (i.e. testing also ELIBBAD when
fips enabled).

@Herbert if you care, you can post your Acked-by: tag.

Kind regards,
Petr
