I have a whole load of changes to bring in itojun's stuff from NetBSD
which makes TCP_SIGNATURE work with KAME IPSEC, and also performs input
verification. Unfortunately, due to the way this works, this is all or
nothing and needs some rethinking to have the correct granularity. But
it's definitely a step in the right direction. In future it'll probably
require that applications using TCP_SIGNATURE be able to speak PF_KEY.

This stuff is still quite a bit far off from being committed to -CURRENT,
though, and I probably won't have a chance to finish it for some time.

FAST_IPSEC not jibing with INET6 is a separate issue, but from what I
understand, it's quite possible, again, lack of committer time/resource.
