Yes, it works, but not it is different from all the other drivers
(MLX4, BENET, IXGBE, I40E, FM10K, QLCNIC, and QEDE). If the 'select
VXLAN' is not the preferred way to handle this, we should change
the other ones the same way, right?
For reference, I've tried it out on the MLX4 driver, and it does
seem nicer that way, see below.
