may I ask for consideration of this patch as this covers an oops FIPS mode? In addition, may I ask for guidance on how to fix the 32 bit code path in Linus' tree as asked on 28.8? To quote: "Thus, the fix in b9347aff91ce4789619168539f08202d8d6a1177 works. However, this patch is based on 05c81ccd9087d238c10b234eadb55632742e5518. So, if we want to fix Linus' tree with minimal impact, either these two patches are pushed to Linus or I have to port b9347aff91ce4789619168539f08202d8d6a1177 to the current Linus tree."
