These are two separate things IMO - the keyutils tests test
for "the keyctl interface behaves as advertised". Testing the underlying
algorithms used for key operations (against reference vectors eg. NIST /
Wycheproof atm) is independent of the keyctl interface, and can also
happen at a layer below (eg. a kmod). I doubt keyutils is the best place
to keep this.

Varad
