/**
 * 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.)
