Hello,

A few algorithms are failing ?alg self tests' during kernel boot into FIPS
mode (fips=1), causing a kernel panic (see below). I am using vanilla
kernel-4.7 source for these tests.

These messages were from individual boots into FIPS mode, where algorithms
are taken out from ".fips_allowed=1? and compiled.

Following (see below) is a patch to disable tests for some of these
algorithms work and kernel could boot into FIPS mode (fips=1)
successfully. Please Let me know if there is a deeper/lower-level fix to
this.
