This is the first series in a greater effort to bring the scalability and programmability advantages of OVS to the rest of the network stack and to get rid of as much OVS specific code as possible.
This first series focuses on getting rid of OVS tunnel vports and use regular tunnel net_devices instead. As part of this effort, the routing subsystem is extended with support for flow based tunneling. In this new tunneling mode, the route is able to match on tunnel information as well as set tunnel encapsulation parameters per route. This allows to perform L3 forwarding for a large number of tunnel endpoints and virtual networks using a single tunnel net_device.
