+Subject: fix: crash creating private key with unsupported algorithm
+
+This patch fixes an issue where some calls to crypto.createPrivateKey
+made with algorithms unsupported by BoringSSL cause a crash when invoking
+methods on their return values. This was happening because BoringSSL
+shims some algorithms but doesn't implement them and so attempted to
+created keys with them will fail (see https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:third_party/boringssl/src/include/openssl/evp.h;l=835-837?q=ed448&ss=chromium)
+
+Node.js returned false in initEdRaw (see: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/20cf47004e7801ede1588d2de8785c0100f6ab38/src/crypto/crypto_keys.cc#L1106)
+but then did nothing with the return value, meaning that if no pkey was
+created successfully that a key object was still returned but attempts
+to use the data_ field would crash the process as data_ was never
+assigned. This is fixed by checking the return value of initEdRaw at the
+JavaScript level and throwing an error if the function returns false.
+
+This patch will be upstreamed in some form.
