There's also a case where "seqiv" is used without counter mode:

net/xfrm/xfrm_algo.c:

{
        .name = "rfc7539esp(chacha20,poly1305)",

        .uinfo = {
                .aead = {
                        .geniv = "seqiv",
                        .icv_truncbits = 128,
                }
        },

        .pfkey_supported = 0,
},


FWIW, we make CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION select only the algorithms that we consider
the "default", and any "non-default" algorithms need to be explicitly enabled.

Is something similar going on here with INET_ESP and INET_ESP6?  Should "seqiv"
be considered a "default" for IPsec?
