There have been several instances where response from kernel
has overrun the stack buffer from the caller. Avoid future problems
by passing a size argument.
Also drop the unused peer and group arguments to rtnl_talk.
This patch adds support to remote checksum checksum offload
confinguration for IPIP, SIT, and GRE tunnels. This patch
adds a [no]encap-remcsum to ip link command which applicable
when configured tunnels that use GUE.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-remotecsumoffload-00
Example:
ip link add name tun1 type gre remote 192.168.1.1 local 192.168.1.2 \
ttl 225 encap fou encap-sport auto encap-dport 7777 encap-csum \
encap-remcsum
This would create an GRE tunnel in GUE encapsulation where the source
port is automatically selected (based on hash of inner packet),
checksums in the encapsulating UDP header are enabled (needed.for
remote checksum offload), and remote checksum ffload is configured to
be used on the tunnel (affects TX side).

This patch adds support to configure foo-over-udp (FOU) and Generic
UDP Encapsulation for GRE tunnels. This configuration allows selection
of FOU or GUE for the tunnel, specification of the source and
destination ports for UDP tunnel, and enabling TX checksum. This
configuration only affects the transmit side of a tunnel.
Example:
ip link add name tun1 type gre remote 192.168.1.1 local 192.168.1.2 \
ttl 225 encap fou encap-sport auto encap-dport 7777 encap-csum
This would create an GRE tunnel in GUE encapsulation where the source
port is automatically selected (based on hash of inner packet) and
checksums in the encapsulating UDP header are enabled.

Allow to print particular link type usage by:
ip link help [TYPE]
Currently to print usage for some link type it is needed
to use the following way:
ip link { add | del | set } type TYPE help

When we create a tunnel on top of a link and the link specified
in cmdline doesn't exist, an error message should be shown.

This patch improves many error messages as follows:
- For incorrect parameters, show the value of the offending parameter, rather than just say that it is incorrect
- Rephrased messages for clarity
- Rephrased to more `mainstream' english

There is nothing in the standard that says 0 can't be used as a key.
It makes sense to allow it. Also fix typo where ikey was printed for
when printing okey.
Both rtnl_talk and rtnl_dump had a callback for handling portions
of netlink message that do not match the correct pid or seq.
But this callback was never used by any part of iproute2 so remove
it.
This patch adds support for configuring GRE tunnels using the
new rtnl_link interface. This only works on kernels that have
the new GRE configuration interface.
This is accessed through the "ip link" command. The previous
tunnel configuration interface "ip tunnel" remains as it is
and should be retained for compatibility with old kernels.
