We could do that, but SADB_X_AALG_SHA2_256HMAC (5) actually refers to
128 bit truncation. 96 bit truncation is a leftover of
draft-ietf-ipsec-ciph-sha-256-00 and has been replaced by 128 bit
truncation in draft-ietf-ipsec-ciph-sha-256-01. 

draft-kelly-ipsec-ciph-sha2 and the resulting RFC4868 define 128 bit
truncation for SADB_X_AALG_SHA2_256HMAC (5), so 96 bit truncation is
really obsolete. We could define a new PF_KEY algorithm for 96 bit
truncation, but it is not really usable as it is not standardized.
