You can achieve this without changing OpenSSL.

Instead of relying on file based SSL functions you can instead rely on
structure based ones using X509, EVP_PKEY et al.

You'd load the structures outside the jail and keep them hanging around
inside.

Then when you need to reload you just pass the necessary structures.
