I think you hit "send" too soon...

Basically what I'm trying to do at this point is two things.

First, I want to convert some certs into C declarations and embed them
into a static library, which can in turn be used to embed them into
applications.  This is essentially the same thing that some drivers do,
where they embed the firmware binaries directly into the driver.

Second, and a (somewhat) separate thing, I'm trying to see if I can get
a PoC of extracting the specific primitives out of OpenSSL and using
them in place of the current software crypto implementations in kernel
and loader.  (objcopy ought to be able to do this to a static library in
theory)
