Hello all,

According to the datasheets for Intel=AE Ethernet Controller X540, IPsec
offload is supported by the hardware which happens to be interesting to me.

Some defines related to IPsec offloading are defined in the sources but
they are not used. Are there any plans to support IPsec offloading in ixgbe
and FreeBSD in general?

Regards,
Matt
