[Openswan dev] CONFIG_XFRM vs udp.c

[Michael Richardson]

I was examining udp.c to understand how NAT-T (UDP encap of ESP packets)
is handled.

udp_encap_rcv() clearly bails if CONFIG_XFRM is not defined.

but, udp_queue_rcv_skb() seems to call xfrm4_rcv_encap() regardless.

It is it intentional that this part of XFRM can not be a module?
It seems that one should call xfrm4_rcv_encap() directly only if one
is all statically linked, and indirect through some function pointer
otherwise. 

Or am I missing some magic that defines xfrom4_rcv_encap() all the time,
and replaces it when XFRM is loaded?
