Description
I've been wondering if it would be a pain to transparently use rustls for platforms that can't support kernel TLS offloading?
It would make it easier to develop on multiple platforms and still have it highly optimized on linux.
Any thoughts? I don't know if this is a good idea at all...

Research direction
Start by reviewing the repository's ktls wrapper and its Linux-specific assumptions, then compare the proposed rustls fallback with the supported platforms. Done would require a settled implementation scope and cross-platform behavior, but this issue does not name files or tests.
