Patch to support MACsec HW offload

[Benny Lønstrup Ammitzbøll]

Ok, I will do this and also supply a patch that fits the latest source 
code from the git repo as well. I anyway need to do this since 256 bit 
keys are only supported there as far as I can see (macsec_csindex).

My intent with posting was not really to get the patch included straight 
away - it was more to get some feedback about this missing ability to 
use wpa_supplicant for MACsec setup on a HW offloaded linux platform. 
And whether my approach to adding this is ok or not.
