Is there a scenario where IPsec implemented in a NIC
or a HBA can be considered a "gateway" IPsec implementation.
I'm trying to reconcile the proposal for iSCSI devices to only
support tunnel-mode IPsec with the requirement in RFC 2401
that only IPsec "gateways" can support only tunnel-mode IPsec,
whereas "hosts' are required to support both tunnel and transport
mode IPsec.
