WWhy do you need to recreate the index?
Old index was fine since this is just a replacement..

The rest of the patches seem fine - will let Eric comment on the
mirred.

Note: I am going to still push forward with skbmod action and I think
so should the new tunnel action code i.e we make them independent.
I'd like to switch to this when we think it is stable.

cheers,
