The real question is what does it take to cripple AES-NI optimization by
OpenSSL?  If it's not validated, and fips mode is set on, that optimization
should simply be crippled.  Is this possible?

I trust there is no AES-NI code in the validated fipscanister?  So therefore
any workaround would be possible within the openssl 1.0.1 non-validated code?
