I see a dangerous pattern of adding many, many, many methods
to the xfrm_type structure which are only used by ipv6.
But I cannot suggest another method.
Sometimes this is a difficult point for me to design.

There are frequent calls of the form:

	if (x->type->op != NULL)
		x->type->op(x, y, z);
	else
		foo(y, z);

it might be nicer to hide all of this behind carefully crafted
inline functions.
I'll fix it. James gave me this comment, too.

BTW he also gave me another point:
Maybe also change the naming of ->place_find to ->hdr_offset
I'll use this idea, too.

Thank you.
