Why would SUSE bother making a z package and installing it by default on SP4 I 
guess is my question?

The reason I care is because of the id.  If it has some value, I'll go through 
the process of making it meet standards.

I did look at removing it and apparently the current openCryptoki-64bit package 
(which we do use) has a dependency on it and claimed it would be downgraded.
So I guess it stays and I do some work.

Maybe it is some new secret squirrel HW since openCryptoki comes from IBM ...

Not to my knowledge, but based on recent trends in IBM's hardware development I 
wouldn't be surprised to see it show up in some future generation.
