I have tested it against your libgtpnl branch laforge/sgsn-role. 
Creating an interface with tools/gtp-link works fine.

We have been running the v1 patches in a production load-testing system 
for the last month.  That all works and gives good performance.  I 
haven't been able to actually run the v2 and v3 patches in that 
environment as access to it is a bit limited... that said, the changes 
from v1 to v3 are really only cosmetic and don't even touch the "parts 
that matter" with respect to encapsulation. Really the patch is pretty 
trivial... mucking about with the netlink interface is the bulk of it 
and that bit has been tested and works.

OK, I'll fix that up just for the sake of correctness and send a v4.
