This is where I'm getting out of my area of knowledge. Internally we use the
"ip" tool to set SAs and that's about all I know about key management for IPsec
in the kernel.
For testing we only use static keys since IKE is not part of our hardware
offering anyways.
As long as I can use "ip" to set the keys I'm ok with whatever changes we make
to this entry.
