I've been reworking this area already to add the ability for the user to
control which devices/states combinations can be offloaded, so this code
will change. What do you think about just having the driver be
responsible for ignoring offload requests when they don't make sense,
like when the device is down, or in sleep mode?

That would be fine.

BTW, xfrm_lookup() also calls stale_bundle(), which also relies on
netif_running(), among other tests.

Good catch, hmmm... let me think about this case.
