There isn't a good way to do this at the moment.  One thing that would
be nice though is if we can make this as generic as possible to
different tunneling formats that might need to be configured in this
way rather than specific to VXLAN.

Another area think about is how best to supply the information to
GRO/RPS to do the software version of these offloads.
