   We need to either filter them out or make sure they are 
   displayed as ipip.
   
   Part of the answer will depend on whether we want to expose xfrm-based 
   ipip tunnels for general use, or only use them internally for ipcomp.
   
I think it is an error to extend PF_KEY for our Linux purposes.
Our API here is basically defined to be whatever is in KAME :-)

However, setkey should filter entries it does not understand.

Currently I see no use for exposing these tunnel transforms
outside of the kernel.  Mobile IPV6, if it decides to use
xfrm6_tunnel, can configure them itself in the kernel side support.
Or, if user side is more appropriate for MIPV6 access, we may allow
it to use xfrm netlink interface somehow.
