I see. Let's try to add it to skbuff.c.
BTW it is interesting to know, how it is used. I am just curious,
because encapsulation with trailers may give real advantages sometimes.
I have only one guess: intuition prompts me, that you copy data
in skb, and then encrypt it in place. Right? 8)8) If it is right,
it is worth to remind, that it is much slower, than parallel
encrypt and copy.
