You said that because of a bug w/ the hifn card that you cannot/will 
not use FAST IPsec.  I said that's not  a reason to not use it, that 
even w/o hardware acceleration it's still faster than KAME.

Unfortunately the policy is that I cannot MFC something w/o it first 
going in -current.  I'll try to test the change under -current this 
week but if someone else could do it then a commit would happen sooner.
