Hi Tom, David,
I think it is very early to have such implementation in the mainline of the Linux kernel.
The draft (draft-herbert-ipv6-srh-ah-00) has been submitted to IETF draft couple of days ago. 
We should give the IETF community the time to review and reach a consensus on this draft.
Thanks, 
Ahmed
