Hmm, I can see having netdev->xfrm_bundle_add() assume a outbound state,
since it's only called for Tx.

Rx offloading could be interesting, but it looks like I could hook into
net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c:__xfrm_policy_check(), and add the xfrm_states
seen there to a work queue for offloading. netdev->xfrm_state_add()
would then only see inbound states.

Sound sane?

You really can't get at the policies at these places somehow?
Even by passing down the xfrm_policy pointer into these
call chains?

If you could get at the xfrm_policy, then you could get the
direction.
