Also, couldn't you just consider WireGuard to be outside your FIPS module
boundary, which would remove it from the scope of the certification?

And how do you handle all the other places in the kernel that use ChaCha20 and
SipHash?  For example, drivers/char/random.c?

Good question, I will check it and reply to you later.

I just read the code. The drivers/char/random.c do has some fips specific
parts(seems not related to crypto). After commit e192be9d9a30 ("random: replace
non-blocking pool with a Chacha20-based CRNG") we moved part of chacha code to
lib/chacha20.c and make that code out of control.

So you are saying that you removed drivers/char/random.c and lib/chacha20.c from
your FIPS module boundary?  Why not do the same for WireGuard?
