I guess this is easy for point-to-point tunnels. But how about the
multipoint gre tunnels? The needed_headroom can vary on destination
basis depending on if they are NATted or not, and on the cipher/hash
used.
Can we change the needed_headroom on-the-fly? Increase it when ever
we encounter a larger path? But this also means some packages would
get extra headroom allocated.
