This patch series generalizes the flow for udp_based tunnels for
offload hooks. So that much of the frame work can remain common
for any driver adding support for geneve or any other
udp_based tunnel in future.
This patch series also makes the driver calls to/from the stack
independent of the tunnel modules. So it would be easier to remove
module config parameters from the respective drivers for tunnel
support. One such example is in i40e driver.
This patch series also adds support for geneve offload in i40e driver.
Much thanks to Jesse Gross for his valuable feedback in getting this
done the right way.
