As far as I know, the Linux in-kernel SunRPC RPCSEC GSS implementation
does not support the new encryption types defined in RFC 8009. That
means neither the in-kernel client or server support these types at
this time.
I'm not aware of plans to implement support for these. Cc'ing the
crypto mailing list to see if others are considering it.
