sceSblNvsWriteDataForKernel
Previous name was sceSblSsMgrSetSysconDataForKernel and sceSblSsMgrNvsWriteDataForKernel.

Calls sceSysconNvsWriteDataForDriver.

return_ffffffff
From 0.990 to 3.60, all it does is return -1; // 0xFFFFFFFF.

get_qaf_token
On 0.990, only returns -1.

SceSblSsMgrForDriver
Cryptographic functions in this module typically have 3 variations:
 * 1) Use   - meaning that the key that you provide is used directly for encryption/decryption.
 * 2) Use   - meaning that you have to use sceSblAuthMgrSetDmac5KeyForKernel function to set the key into a specific slot.
 * 3) * Note that in this case you select a key from F00D by . It will be encrypted by F00D and placed into the slot selected by.
 * 4) Use   - meaning that the call to sceSblAuthMgrSetDmac5KeyForKernel will happen internally.
 * 5) * In this case the key from F00D is also selected by  and encrypted by F00D. It is then placed into one of the available slots. Default slot range is 0xC-0x17.
