Good point.  I had a quick look at tls_sw.c and it *appears* to be
safe with the default software code.  As tls_sw only uses the generic
AEAD algorithms (rather than the IPsec-specific variants which aren't
safe), the software-only paths *should* be OK.

However, drivers that support these algorithms may require fallbacks
for esoteric reasons.  For example, drivers/crypto/amcc appears to
require a fallback for certain input parameters which may or may not
be possible with TLS.

To be on the safe side I would do a backport once this has been
in mainline for a little bit.

Cheers,
