This takes away the nice ability to reload the xfrm interface
related kfuncs when reloading the xfrm interface.

I also find it a little strange that the kfuncs would be available
when the xfrm interface isn't loaded.

So imho it makes sense that these kfuncs would be built
as part of the module and not as part of the core.
