Yep, that specific part has no binding per se to anything related to
TPM2. It is also dead easy to detach.

Here I would suggest to take a similar angle as with CRYPTO_LIB_AES so
that it is easily and directly callable from either side with no fuss.

I'll mangle it that way at least for the next version and we can see
then how it looks like.
