Before lightweight tunnels existed, it really didn't make sense to
create a tunnel that was not fully specified, such as without a
destination IP address - the resulting packets would go nowhere.
However, with lightweight tunnels, the opposite is true - it doesn't
make sense to require this information when it will be provided later
on by the route. This loosens the requirements for this information.
An alternative would be to allow the relaxed version only when
COLLECT_METADATA is enabled. However, since there are several
variations on this theme (such as NBMA tunnels in GRE), just dropping
the restrictions seems the most consistent across tunnels and with
the existing configuration.

Partially due to a pre-exising "thinko", the new metadata-based tx/rx
paths were handling ECN propagation differently than the traditional
tx/rx paths. This patch removes the "thinko" (involving multiple
ip_hdr assignments) on the rx path and corrects the ECN handling on
both the rx and tx paths.

The code handling vlan tag insertion was dropped in commit 371bd1061d
("geneve: Consolidate Geneve functionality in single module."). Now we
need to drop the related vlan feature bits in the netdev structure.

Currently tun-info options pointer is used in few cases to
pass options around. But tunnel options can be accessed using
ip_tunnel_info_opts() API without using the pointer. Following
patch removes the redundant pointer and consistently make use
of API.

Geneve can benefit from GRO at the device level in a manner similar
to other tunnels, especially as hardware offloads are still emerging.
After this patch, aggregated frames are seen on the tunnel interface.
Single stream throughput nearly doubles in ideal circumstances (on
old hardware).

There's currently nothing preventing directing packets with IPv6
encapsulation data to IPv4 tunnels (and vice versa). If this happens,
IPv6 addresses are incorrectly interpreted as IPv4 ones.
Track whether the given ip_tunnel_key contains IPv4 or IPv6 data. Store this
in ip_tunnel_info. Reject packets at appropriate places if they are supposed
to be encapsulated into an incompatible protocol.

The mode field holds a single bit of information only (whether the
ip_tunnel_info struct is for rx or tx). Change the mode field to bit flags.
This allows more mode flags to be added.

geneve_core module handles send and receive functionality.
This way OVS could use the Geneve API. Now with use of
tunnel meatadata mode OVS can directly use Geneve netdevice.
So there is no need for separate module for Geneve. Following
patch consolidates Geneve protocol processing in single module.
