A bit of problem is that the OpenSSL’s license is incompatible 
with GPLv2.

Three: one to screw it in, and one to confuse the issue.

It might not be so simple.  The kernel is preemptable and must not
block.  libssl is not designed with the kernel in mind.

The crypto libraries can, and are in some places, in the kernel.

If you want to put the SSL/TLS protocol into the kernel, you will need to do 
some work, just as writing a BIO type that works in the kernel and perhaps 
malloc/free routines, probably some other stuff.

That would be cool to see :)
