This series adds support for the creation of tunnels using the rtnetlink interface. This will open the possibility for new features and flags on those vports without the need to change vport compatibility code.
Support for STT and LISP have not been added because these are not upstream yet, so we don't know how the interface will be like upstream. And there are no features in the current drivers right now we could make use of. We are able to set the MTU to UINT16_MAX since it is not restricted by the driver during newlink.
