I would think the issue is that the OpenSSL BIGNUM lib has some issues: when 
calculating m^e mod n, m has to be equal to the key size. The kernel's MPI 
code handles the case where m is smaller than the key size.

Note, in your code below, ptext is the 8 bytes from ptext_ex plus trailing 
zeroes whereas the kernel uses just the 8 bytes.

It seems that your implementation has the same issue.

What about the following test: change vector->m to be 64 bytes (i.e. 
RSA_size(key) in size in testmgr.h and check the output of crypto/rsa.c, 
openssl's output with the app below and your RSA hardware.
