It doesn't make sense to use external control plane and fill internal FDB at
the same time. It's even an illegal combination for VXLAN-GPE.
Just switch off learning when 'external' is specified.

On recent kernels, UDP checksum computation has become more efficient and
the default behavior was changed, however, the ip command overrides this
by always specifying a particular behavior.
If the user does not specify that UDP checksums should either be computed
or not then we don't need to send an explicit netlink message - the kernel
can just use its default behavior.

There are only three users which require it to be reentrant, the rest is
fine without. Instead, provide a reentrant format_host_r() for users
which need it.

This patch add support for IFLA_VXLAN_COLLECT_METADATA via the

Also enforce mutual exclusion between 'vni' and 'external'.

This patch adds support to remote checksum checksum offload
to VXLAN. This patch adds remcsumtx and remcsumrx to ip vxlan
configuration to enable remote checksum offload for transmit
and receive on the VXLAN tunnel.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-vxlan-rco-00
Example:
ip link add name vxlan0 type vxlan id 42 group 239.1.1.1 dev eth0 \
udpcsum remcsumtx remcsumrx
Testing:
Ran single netperf over mlnx4 to illustrate the effest:
- Without RCO (UDP csum set to zero)
4335.99 Mbps
- With RCO enabled
7661.81 Mbps

Add udpcsum option to enable transmitting UDP checksums when doing
VXLAN/IPv4. Add udp6zerocsumtx, and udp6zerocsumrx options to enable
sending zero checksums and receiving zero checksums in VXLAN/IPv6.

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

This patch allows setting VXLAN destination to unicast address.
It allows that VXLAN can be used as peer-to-peer tunnel without
multicast.
v6: change back to the v3 except for using new attribute because
replacing command-line parameters breaks existing scripts,
based by Cong Wang's comments.
v5: rebase on the latest.
v4: replace "group" with "remote" based by David Stevens's comments.
v3: move a new attribute REMOTE into the last of an enum list
based by Stephen Hemminger's comments.
fix the usage to show explicitly that both "remote" and "group"
cannot be specified, based by Ben Hutchings's comments.
v2: use a new argument "remote" instead of "group" based by
Stephen Hemminger's comments.

This change shifts burden onto the users to choose the UDP port value.
Kernel default value is incorrect UDP port 5287 but now there is
an official assigned port for VXLAN.
The kernel can't change because of legacy compatibility
but new deployments should not use the legacy port value.
Add ability to set UDP destination port on a per device basis.
If no port is assigned, the default IANA assigned port will be used.
If you want the kernel default value, then use port 0.
Source port range option is now called 'srcport', to avoid
confusion. The old option syntax is accepted for compatiablity.

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

This patch adds a new flag to iproute2 for vxlan devices to enable
DOVE features. It also adds support for L2 and L3 switch lookup miss
netlink messages to "ip monitor".
Changes since v2: fix merge conflict
Changes since v1:
- split "dove" flag into separate feature flags:
- "proxy" for ARP reduction
- "rsc" for route short circuiting
- "l2miss" for L2 switch miss notifications
- "l3miss" for L3 switch miss notifications
