Subject: [PATCH]     iproute2: Extend ip address command to enable multicast group join/leave on IP level.

    Joining multicast group on ethernet level via "ip maddr" command would
    not work if we have an Ethernet switch that does igmp snooping since
    the switch would not replicate multicast packets on ports that did not
    have IGMP reports for the multicast addresses.

    Linux vxlan interfaces created via "ip link add vxlan" have the group option
    that enables then to do the required join.

    By extending ip address command with option "autojoin" we can get similar
    functionality for openvswitch vxlan interfaces as well as other tunneling
    mechanisms that need to receive multicast traffic. The kernel code is
    structured similar to how the vxlan driver does a group join / leave.

    example:
    ip address add 224.1.1.10/24 dev eth5 autojoin
    ip address del 224.1.1.10/24 dev eth5
