It's not very easy to separate the AO-specific parts here. Key lookup 
determines packet allocation length and whether MD5 should also be 
attempted (RFC claims adding both is invalid). The result of the key 
lookup is the used later to sign bits of the packet.

The IPv4 equivalent is even worse because no explicit reply SKB is 
allocated.

I can try to split tcp_authopt_pick_key_for_response_v6 and 
tcp_authopt_sign_response_v6.
