Re: [PATCH BlueZ] mesh: test AEAD at startup to check kernel support

One time test at startup to ensure either kernel version v4.9 or later,

there, daemon will run without providing D-Bus service or attaching to
controllers (prevents systemd thrashing).

By the way - I have a patch that implements all required cryptographic
operations using libcrypto, enabled by ./configure --with-openssl
(disabled by default).

I know that last time we've talked about this, the consensus was that the
vendor should patch meshd to work on older kernels, so we did exactly
that - but maybe having this available in the mainline would be
interesting?
