The code that I'm testing is in src/sys/opencrypto (and there are other
drivers that can get tested too, but it still goes through the opencrypto
code)...  Hence why I put them in tests/sys/opencrypto...  If that's the
wrong location, let me know and I can move them...

Yeh...  Though as a kld will have to be loaded, and a sysctl set as
root, there's other issues to having it automaticly run as part of
jenkins...
