Just to make this a bit more clear, would it be correct to say that
the logical ordering here is as follows:

implemented by patches 1-5 below)

I understand the wish to eventually have something that goes beyond
refactoring of
the vxlan and tunneling code plus Geneve basics. However, isn't the
1st part of the series
(patches 1-5) have something is common to Tom's GUE work, which is
currently under review
too? I think we need first see how the basic elements from your series
go along together with GUE.

Or.
