Setting the ULP doesn't choose HW or SW implementation, I think that
should be done later when setting up crypto with 

setsockopt(SOL_TLS, TLS_TX, struct crypto_info).

Any reason we can't use ethtool to choose HW vs SW implementation, if
available on the device?

Sure, but I think we can add hooks to tls_main to do this without a
new ULP.
