Description Andrew John Hughes 2022-02-10 05:55:39 UTC 
At present, FIPS support relies on crypto policies being present and active.

However, after the move to using /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled or NSS to detect FIPS mode (RH1929465), there is no need for FIPS mode to have anything with system crypto policies, and indeed, it can work fine on RHEL 7 using the /proc check.

We should thus refactor the code so the two are independent of one another, and update the documentation which suggests FIPS mode can be disabled by turning off the crypto policy support.
