Jouni was worried that too many distros still can't compile this due to
missing headers/dependencies?

Yes. I think it still makes sense to have this enabled by default.
Currently basically all distros roll their own configs, and at the
point they switch their master/devel packages to use the upstream
defconfig, they should also enable MACsec.

If there's anyone who uses a new supplicant with old-ish kernel, it's
trivial to just comment the thing out.

Having an old kernel is not issue since that gets handled at runtime.
Having an old (and well, not really _that_ old) kernel header files and
libnl is more of an issue since that breaks the build due to missing
linux/if_macsec.h and/or netlink/route/link/macsec.h.
