It is intended not to patch OpenSSL twice. Besides the interface > API, the internal does NOT resemble OCF in anyway. But it's exactly the interface that would tie us down to OCF. For instance, we use strings to locate algorithms rather than hard-coded integer IDs. Compatibility with an interface that was never part of the Linux kernel is simply not an issue.
