This patch adds support for tokenized IIDs, that enable
administrators to assign well-known host-part addresses
to nodes whilst still obtaining global network prefix
from Router Advertisements. This is the iproute2 part for
the kernel patch f53adae4eae5 (``net: ipv6: add tokenized
interface identifier support'').
Example commands with iproute2:
Setting a device token:
# ip token set ::1a:2b:3c:4d/64 dev eth1
Getting a device token:
# ip token get dev eth1
token ::1a:2b:3c:4d dev eth1
Listing all tokens:
# ip token list (or: ip token)
token :: dev eth0
token ::1a:2b:3c:4d dev eth1

While looking into a sysctl regression in decnet on old kernels I
discovered this omission in the iproute2 documentation.
I can't imagine anyone's muscle memory remembering the longer forms.

Since do_help() has to return an int to fit in the table of commands,
it should actually return an int. This patch lets it do so.

This patch allows to manage ip6 tunnels via the interface ip link.
The syntax for parameters is the same that 'ip -6 tunnel'.
It also allows to display tunnels parameters with 'ip -details link' or
'ip -details monitor link'.

Alternative fix to problem reported by: Bin Li
The issue is came from https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681952.
In any previous version (since suse ... 10.0?), ip addr add always returned
the error code 2 in case the ip address is already set on the interface:
inet 172.16.2.3/24 brd 172.16.2.255 scope global bond0
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
2
On 11.4, it returns the exit code 254:
inet 172.16.1.1/24 brd 172.16.1.255 scope global eth0
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
254
This of course causes ifup to return an error in this quite common case..
The goal of this code change is to implement a mechanism such that it is
simple to work with a kernel that is using multiple network namespaces
at once.
This comes in handy for interacting with vpns where there may be rfc1918
address overlaps, and different policies default routes, name servers
and the like.
Configuration specific to a network namespace that would ordinarily be
stored under /etc/ is stored under /etc/netns/<name>. For example if
the dns server configuration is different for your vpn you would create
a file /etc/netns/myvpn/resolv.conf.
File descriptors that can be used to manipulate a network namespace can
be created by opening /var/run/netns/<NAME>.
This adds the following commands to iproute.
ip netns add NAME
ip netns delete NAME
ip netns monitor
ip netns list
ip netns exec NAME cmd ....
ip link set DEV netns NAME
ip netns exec exists to cater the vast majority of programs that only
know how to operate in a single network namespace. ip netns exec
changes the default network namespace, creates a new mount namespace,
remounts /sys and bind mounts netns specific configuration files to
their standard locations.

The default remains at 10 for backwards compatibility.
For instance:
# ip addr flush dev eth2
*** Flush remains incomplete after 10 rounds. ***
# ip -l 20 addr flush dev eth2
*** Flush remains incomplete after 20 rounds. ***
# ip -loops 0 addr flush dev eth2
#
This is useful for getting rid of large numbers of IP
addresses in scripts.

It uses 1MB as receive buf limit by default (without
increasing /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max it will be limited by less
however) and allows to specify the size manually using "-rcvbuf X"
(-r is already used, so you need to specify at least -rc).
Additionally rtnl_listen() continues on ENOBUFS after printing the
error message.
Add support for using netlink for link configuration. Kernel-support is
probed, when not available it falls back to using ioctls.

The new command is called "veth" with the following syntax:
* ip veth add <dev1> <dev2>
creates interconnected pair of veth devices.
* ip veth del <dev>
destroys the pair of veth devices, where <dev> is either
<dev1> or <dev2> used to create the pair.
One question that is to be solved is whether or not to create
a hard-coded netlink family for veth driver. Without it the
family resolution code has to be moved to general place in ip
utility (by now it is copy-paste-ed from one file to another
till final decision).
