   This patches only compiles the xfrm subsystem in when any of the options
   using it are selected. This shrinks the text segment on an amd64
   kernel by ~32k, data by ~6k, bss by ~33k, overall ~72K memory saved.

I'm not going to apply this, sorry Andi.

I want the freedom to use the XFRM layer for generic things
at some point.

How about working on making the xfrm layer more lean instead? :)
