Google for:
OpenSSL engine Linux Crypto API
OR
OpenSSL engine Linux CryptoAPI
You find for example:
http://mailman.uclinux.org/pipermail/uclinux-dev/2005-February/031059.html
and other related material, you need a user-land engine for OpenSSL that
talks to the Linux device driver throught a suitable /dev/special file
and appropriate ioctl() operations...
