I think you mean "FIPS allowed", not "FIPS certified"?  Even if it used FIPS
allowed algorithms like AES, the Linux kernel doesn't come with any sort of FIPS
certification out of the box.

Also, couldn't you just consider WireGuard to be outside your FIPS module
boundary, which would remove it from the scope of the certification?

And how do you handle all the other places in the kernel that use ChaCha20 and
SipHash?  For example, drivers/char/random.c?
