Documentation/Changes: Now need OpenSSL devel packages for module signing 



The module signing script (sign-file) used to be a wrapper around the
openssl program.  It has now been replaced by a C program that uses the
crypto library from the OpenSSL package meaning that the OpenSSL devel
packages are necessary to provide the devel library link and the header
files.

This would be openssl-devel on Fedora and libssl-dev on Debian.

-------



Module signing and external certificate handling use the OpenSSL program and

crypto library to do key creation and signature generation.



You will need openssl to build kernels 3.7 and higher if module signing is

enabled.  You will also need openssl development packages to build kernels 4.3
