Steffen Klassert f6e27114a6 net: Add a xfrm validate function to validate_xmit_skb
When we do IPsec offloading, we need a fallback for
packets that were targeted to be IPsec offloaded but
rerouted to a device that does not support IPsec offload.
For that we add a function that checks the offloading
features of the sending device and and flags the
requirement of a fallback before it calls the IPsec
output function. The IPsec output function adds the IPsec
trailer and does encryption if needed.

Steffen Klassert d77e38e612 xfrm: Add an IPsec hardware offloading API
This patch adds all the bits that are needed to do
IPsec hardware offload for IPsec states and ESP packets.
We add xfrmdev_ops to the net_device. xfrmdev_ops has
function pointers that are needed to manage the xfrm
states in the hardware and to do a per packet
offloading decision.
