Subject: [PATCH iproute2 6/7] ip/xfrm: Improve usage text and documentation
Change ALGO-KEY to ALGO-KEYMAT to make it more obvious that the
keying material might need to contain more than just the key (such
as a salt or nonce value).
List the algorithm names that currently exist in the kernel.
Indicate that for IPComp, the Compression Parameter Index (CPI) is
used as the SPI.
Group the list of mode values by transform protocol.
