BTW, none of our existing mode output functions actually return
an error.  I noticed that the description for this field is actually
"Transformation mode specific error, e.g. Outer header space is not
enough".  This is slightly misleading as output header space is
checked by xfrm_state_check_space so if there's an error that's
where it'll show up.

Cheers,
