"parameters" (it's not just one parameter)

This is not much helpful to the user. What's "enc"? I guess "Missing
tunnel key id" would be enough and better.

We don't need both but only one of them. And again, "enc" does not have
a clear meaning.

"Missing either IPv4 or IPv6 source and destination address"?

In addition, it makes little sense to me to add extacks to just some of
the errors in the tunnel_key_init function. Please add extacks to all
of them.

Thanks,
