Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/3] netdev: add netdev atomic callchain to avoid driver depending on vxlan/geneve

This small series adds a netdev_atomic notifier chain so that drivers can
callback to the core network stack requesting to reprogram the offloads
without depending on the geneve or vxlan modules.

* Result:
$ cd drivers/net/ethernet/
$ find . -name '*.ko' | xargs modinfo | egrep  '^depends:.*(vxlan|geneve)'  | wc -l
0

Hannes Frederic Sowa (3):
  netdev: add atomic netdev callback chain
  vxlan: use netdev_atomic notifier chain to remove dependency from
    drivers
  geneve: use netdev_atomic notifier chain to remove dependency from
    drivers
