[Swan-dev] skipping init_pfkey()

[Paul Wouters]

Note that calling the kernel functions for registration might do
something inside the kernel. Since we are modprobing most things
now, we are likely not using it now. But soon when there is an
XFRM version to replace the PF_KEY function in the kernel, that
function will actually initialise (and/or load kernel module)
when initialising. So we might have to re-instate something
again soon.

     xfrm: don't call init_pfkey() during initialization

     No need since algorithms are all hardwired.

     Leave the comment: PF_KEY API in Linux with netkey is a joke that
     should be abandoned ...
