Subject: [PATCH net-next] xfrm: Add support for network devices capable of removing the ESP trailer

From: Yossi Kuperman <[email protected]>

In conjunction with crypto offload [1], removing the ESP trailer by
hardware can potentially improve the performance by avoiding (1) a
cache miss incurred by reading the nexthdr field and (2) the necessity
to calculate the csum value of the trailer in order to keep skb->csum
valid.

This patch introduces the changes to the xfrm stack and merely serves
as an infrastructure. Subsequent patch to mlx5 driver will put this to
a good use.

Applied to ipsec-next, thanks Yossi!
