You left out, patching OpenSSL's cryptodev support to function.

And you left out "running the test suite, which according to the bug in
OpenSSL's bugtracker, would have failed".

Both of these dastardly details are hidden in the depths of the file
misleadingly titled "README" in cryptodev-linux-1.7.tar.gz, under the
heading "* OpenSSL:".
