   The current IPSec implementation has a distinction in the security
   policy between transport and tunnel SAs. I think this is not the best
   way to do this.  This distinction duplicates work already done by the
   ipip driver. We have a tunneling system already, we should use it.

The IPSEC RFCs require this state to be per SA.  The key exchange
daemons also need to know this.

IPIP cannot do what is needed to happen here for tunnel based
SAs, it lacks the knowledge and shouldn't need to be concerned
with what happens there.
