That's precisely why we're having this discussion.  We can now
encrypt/decrypt a 1500 byte packet in 2us so the last thing we
want is to impose additional latencies on the common case unless
it's absolutely required.

If we can shrink the structure used between IPsec and the crypto
layer then we can allocate the sgbuf off the stack for 99% of
the users.

Cheers,
