Normally when a vendor says they have a driver for some operating
system, it means

        We have a driver binary that we load into the kernel, or
        one that runs in userland that talks to the card via
        /dev/pci or /dev/mem, and then OpenSSL's engine handles
        this via a dynamically loading a binary .so library we
        supply.

Not exactly what most of you want running.
