IV wrap-around is cryptographically dangerous for a number of ciphers,
therefore kill the key and inform userspace (via netlink) should the
IV space go exhausted.
Userspace has two ways of deciding when the key has to be renewed before
exhausting the IV space:
1) time based approach:
after X seconds/minutes userspace generates a new key and sends it
to the kernel. This is based on guestimate and normally default
timer value works well.
2) packet count based approach:
after X packets/bytes userspace generates a new key and sends it to
the kernel. Userspace keeps track of the amount of traffic by
periodically polling GET_PEER and fetching the VPN/LINK stats.
