Removing the code so it isn't in NetBSD 6 seems premature.  There
shouldn't be much simplification/cleanup etc. on the branch.  And I
don't know what fraction of people who use IPsec at all use FAST_IPSEC
vs IPSEC - I would suspect that the new code has been exposed to only a
small fraction of the use cases.
