Based on the original work from Arnd Bergmann.
When XFRM_ALGO is not enabled, the new ixgbe IPsec code produces a
link error:
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_ipsec.o: In function `ixgbe_ipsec_vf_add_sa':
ixgbe_ipsec.c:(.text+0x1266): undefined reference to `xfrm_aead_get_byname'
Simply selecting XFRM_ALGO from here causes circular dependencies, so
to fix it, we probably want this slightly more complex solution that is
similar to what other drivers with XFRM offload do:
A separate Kconfig symbol now controls whether we include the IPsec
offload code. To keep the old behavior, this is left as 'default y'. The
dependency in XFRM_OFFLOAD still causes a circular dependency but is
not actually needed because this symbol is not user visible, so removing
that dependency on top makes it all work.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
