oh sorry, must've pasted the wrong string.

But please ignore my first patch, I don't think this is optimal. I'll
do another one later.

What I think is a sane approach is to leave the current code mostly as
it is, just add one further sorting step that will bring GCM ciphers in
front of non-gcm ones.
I think that should give the desired result.
