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.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
