Please hold the horses on this patch.

I'm about to post a series of patches that aims to disable algorithms
such as sha1 in FIPS mode while still allowing compound algorithms such
as hmac(sha1) to work.

As a result of this series, ENOENT will again be returned for FIPS-
disallowed algorithms when in FIPS mode.

Thanks,
