/**
* Error code layout.
*
* Currently we try to keep all error codes within the negative space of 16
* bytes signed integers to support all platforms (-0x0000 - -0x8000). In
* addition we'd like to give two layers of information on the error if
* possible.
*
* For that purpose the error codes are segmented in the following manner:
*
* 16 bit error code bit-segmentation
*
* 1 bit - Intentionally not used
* 3 bits - High level module ID
* 5 bits - Module-dependent error code
* 6 bits - Low level module errors
* 1 bit - Intentionally not used
*
* Low-level module errors (0x007E-0x0002)
*
* Module Nr Codes assigned
* MPI 7 0x0002-0x000E
* BASE64 2 0x0010-0x0012
* ASN1 5 0x0014-0x001C
* AES 2 0x0020-0x0022
* CAMELLIA 2 0x0024-0x0026
* XTEA 1 0x0028-0x0028
* PADLOCK 1 0x0030-0x0030
* DES 1 0x0032-0x0032
* NET 11 0x0040-0x0054
*
* High-level module nr (3 bits - 0x1...-0x8...)
* Name ID Nr of Errors
* PEM 1 8
* X509 2 20
* DHM 3 6
* RSA 4 9
* MD 5 1
* CIPER 6 1
* SSL 7 27
*
* Module dependent error code (5 bits 0x.08.-0x.F8.)
