I'm not sure if we're talking about the same issue, but I'm experiencing
massive packet drops with outbound IPv6 traffic with a GREv4 tunnel with IPv6
traffic on the inside. Inbound traffic seems fine, and IPv4 inside the tunnel
is fine in both directions.

First observed when upgrading to 3.9 the other day. 3.8 was fine. git bisect
and a kernel-recompile-reboot-dance points to commit
68c331631143f5f039baac99a650e0b9e1ea02b6 as the culprit.

Cheers,
-Berge
