    Add the ability to turn FIPS-compliant mode on or off at boot
    
    In order to be FIPS compliant, several check may need to be preformed that may
    be construed as unusefull in a non-compliant mode.  This patch allows us to set
    a kernel flag incating that we are running in a fips-compliant mode from boot
    up.  It also exports that mode information to user space via a sysctl
    (/proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled).
    
    Tested successfully by me.
