 ordering"

Hello All,

Based on the discussion covered here

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/7663cbb1-7a55-6986-7d5d-8fab55887a80@scottdial.com/

would a new "ip macsec" option to choose between the 2 ways
(pre-patch versus post-patch) be OK as a temporary relief for sys admins ?

If that might be OK, I can send a patch for review.

Thanks,
Venkat
