As far as i am aware this should be transparent to ipfw. Meaning it
should work since ipfw speaks ALTQ tags so no problems should arise.
It is in use in production machines as a patch so you can be sure it
works reliably.

I can submit the PR but i think it is better if somebody with ipsec
competence comments about its eligibility. I CC'd freebsd-net@ so
somebody will speak for this more rather than place it on PR that
nobody would look at.
