Summary

This PR enables Linux XFRM interfaces to allow creating xfrmN devices for IPsec policy routing and namespace/VRF separation. It turns on CONFIG_XFRM_INTERFACE in the kernel config (module autoloads on use). No behavior change by default; it simply unlocks IPsec scenarios that require if_id steering.

Impact: none for existing users; new capability for per-tenant/VRF IPsec paths

Change Log

• enable CONFIG_XFRM_INTERFACE, build/install module

Does this affect the toolchain?
