It would be interesting to have a partial kernel-space TLS
implementation but I don't know whether such a thing could ever make
it to kernel.
Herbert and I have discussed this several times and we plan on
implementing this at some point.
The problem is that TLS is not a universal thing. There is still SSH,
kerberos, openvpn (as far as I remember it is a custom protocol), etc.
It makes sense to have something to apply broadly, especially when it is
in the Linux kernel. Currently have a device such as /dev/crypto looks
like a good compromise.
