Ok. These patches are not just modularize ipv4 tunnels but also does
code refactoring, so that there is less code duplication in different
tunneling implementation.

There are couple of independent patches from this patch series. I will
submit them separately. Later I will resubmit modular ip-tunnel
patches as you have suggested.

Thanks,
Pravin.
