This patch provides extensions to VXLAN for supporting Distributed
Overlay Virtual Ethernet (DOVE) networks. The patch includes:
+ a dove flag per VXLAN device to enable DOVE extensions
+ ARP reduction, whereby a bridge-connected VXLAN tunnel endpoint
answers ARP requests from the local bridge on behalf of
remote DOVE clients
+ route short-circuiting (aka L3 switching). Known destination IP
addresses use the corresponding destination MAC address for
switching rather than going to a (possibly remote) router first.
+ netlink notification messages for forwarding table and L3 switching
misses
Changes since v2
- combined bools into "u32 flags"
- replaced loop with !is_zero_ether_addr()

__IPTUNNEL_XMIT() is an ugly macro, convert it to a static
inline function, so make it more readable.
IPTUNNEL_XMIT() is unused, just remove it.

In the event of a VXLAN device being linked to a device that has a
hard_header_len greater than that of standard ethernet we could end up with
the hard_header_len not being large enough for outgoing frames. In order to
prevent this we should update the length when a lowerdev is provided.

This change fixes an issue I found where VXLAN frames were fragmented when
they were up to the VXLAN MTU size. I root caused the issue to the fact that
the headroom was 4 + 20 + 8 + 8. This math doesn't appear to be correct
because we are not inserting a VLAN header, but instead a 2nd Ethernet header.
As such the math for the overhead should be 20 + 8 + 8 + 14 to account for the
extra headers that are inserted for VXLAN.

"ip link add ... type vxlan ... ttl X" allows a user to set the TTL
used by a VXLAN for encapsulation. The provided value was ignored by
vxlan module and the default value of 1 was used when encapsulating
multicast packets.

If vxlan is created and the ifindex is passed; there are two cases which
are incorrectly handled by the existing code. The ifindex could be zero
(i.e. no device) or there could be no device with that ifindex.

Vxlan was trying to use postpull_rcsum to allow receive checksum
offload to work on drivers using CHECKSUM_COMPLETE method. But this
doesn't work correctly. Just force full receive checksum on received

VXLAN bases source UDP port based on flow to help the
receiver to be able to load balance based on outer header flow.
This patch restricts the port range to the normal UDP local
ports, and allows overriding via configuration.
It also uses jhash of Ethernet header when looking at flows
with out know L3 header.

This is an implementation of Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network
as described in draft RFC:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mahalingam-dutt-dcops-vxlan-02
The driver integrates a Virtual Tunnel Endpoint (VTEP) functionality
that learns MAC to IP address mapping.
This implementation has not been tested only against the Linux
userspace implementation using TAP, not against other vendor's
equipment.
