Subject: [PATCH net-next] ipip: Add room for user-specified custom header
This patch adds support for specifying the size of a custom header to be
inserted between the two IP headers. The actual content will be inserted later,
for example by a module that is attached to a hook.
A use-case for the feature provided by this patch is to ease the implementation
of custom tunneling protocols. Instead of implementing them directly in the
kernel and having to look out for changes in the kernel behavior/APIs, a
tunneling protocol can be implemented as an independent module.
To avoid breaking user space (by updating ip_tunnel_params), it is only possible
to specify the custom header length when an IPIP-tunnel is created using
netlink-messages.
