The problem is that you declare and use fill_imix_distribution()
unconditionally in the file but fill_imix_distribution() is only defined
if CONFIG_XFRM is set, resulting in this error if CONFIG_XFRM is not set.
Should fill_imix_distribution() be moved out of that block or does it
truly depend on CONFIG_XFRM? If it does, should the use of
fill_imix_distribution() be guarded by CONFIG_XFRM as well?

Nathan
