SubjectRe: [RFC PATCH 2/2] Crypto kernel tls socket

SOCK_ALG exists to export crypto algorithms to user-space. So if
we decided to support TLS as an algorithm then I guess this makes
sense.

However, I must say that it wouldn't have been my first pick. I'd
imagine a TLS socket to look more like a TCP socket, or perhaps a
KCM socket as proposed by Tom.

Thanks,
