sarcasm mode is not accepted. Linux does exactly "standard tunnel-mode IPsec".
It does not give you device to make you totally happy.

Probably, you are not aware that "standard IPsec tunnel device",
if it is created:

1. Probably, will not accept fragmented frames, because IPsec cannot
   handle them
2. Probably, will have undefined MTU (65536), because of 1
3. Probably, will screw up TCP because of 2
   etc.

Actually, this is the reason why it is not implemented.
It is dirty business. :-) And the person, who implements this,
has to be really... unscrupulous. :-)
