mostly not. The nortel one is a workaround for notel, ikev1 only. The
dpd is to see if the remote supports DPD, but that's a mandatory part
of ikev2, so we dont need that either.

fragmentation will be done differently in ikev2 unfortunately, using:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-fragmentation-10

Although nothing stops us from adding a Notify type that would mean
support for "ikev1 style" fragmentation (as the method is completely
agnostic to the IKE version)
