Hi Jakub, in a nutshell, my PR adds the steering rules needed for ipsec
RoCE purely in mlx5 only, ipsec tables are shared between netdev and rdma
It's a reality that mlx5_core is serving both netdev and rdma, it's not
about who has the keys for approving, it's that the fact the mlx5_core is
not just a netdev driver, this is true for all vendors who serve both
worlds it's not just mlx5.
