The libkcapi cannot be used for CAVS testing the DRBG. Also a number of other
ciphers like the asymmetric ciphers are not testable via libkcapi.
And yes, the Perl code refers to a kernel module that I developed but is
private that allows full CAVS testing - this is the one that is used for all
kernel crypto API CAVS/ACVP certificates that are out there.
