The patchset defines OPENSSL_FIPS in the openssl code. Thus code within "#ifdef 
OPENSSL_FIPS" gets built for the libcrypto and libssl libraries.  However, the 
libraries don't run in fips mode. The version we certify will. 
This preliminary step to include the patchset now into 16.04 allows us to do 
only minor changes to the code for the 16.04 update version to be fips 
certified. 
  
A test package is available at 
https://launchpad.net/~j-latten/+archive/ubuntu/myppa

Building the test package included running the tests in the openssl's test 
directory. If any fail, the build would fail. 
The tests in openssl's test/ directory ran successfully for build of above test 
package.

Successfully installed the package on a VM and ran following tests provided by 
security team in lp:qa-regression-testing.
test-openssl.py
test-apache2.py
test-apache2-mpm-prefork.py
test-wget.py
test-ca-certficates.py

All were successful.
