Subject: [PATCH iproute2-next v2 1/2] man: ip link: document GRE tunnels

GRE tunnels are currently only documented together with IPIP and SIT
tunnels, but they actually have very different configuration
options. Let's separate them.

+.sp
+.BI  remote " ADDR "
+- specifies the remote address of the tunnel.
+
+.sp
+.BI  local " ADDR "
+- specifies the fixed local address for tunneled packets.
+It must be an address on another interface on this host.
+
+.sp
+.RB [ i | o ] seq
+- serialize packets.
+The
+.B oseq
+flag enables sequencing of outgoing packets.
+The
+.B iseq
+flag requires that all input packets are serialized.
+

+.RB [ i | o ] key
+.I KEY
+- use keyed GRE with key
+.IR KEY ". "KEY
+is either a number or an IPv4 address-like dotted quad.
+The
+.B key
+parameter specifies the same key to use in both directions.
+The
+.BR ikey " and " okey
+parameters specify different keys for input and output.
+
+.sp
+.RB  [ i | o ] csum
+- generate/require checksums for tunneled packets.
+The
+.B ocsum
+flag calculates checksums for outgoing packets.
+The
+.B icsum
+flag requires that all input packets have the correct
+checksum. The
+.B csum
+flag is equivalent to the combination
+.B "icsum ocsum" .
+
+.sp
+.BI ttl " TTL"
+- specifies the TTL value to use in outgoing packets.
+
+.sp
+.BI tos " TOS"
+- specifies the TOS value to use in outgoing packets.
+
+.sp
+.RB [ no ] pmtudisc
+- enables/disables Path MTU Discovery on this tunnel.
+It is enabled by default. Note that a fixed ttl is incompatible
+with this option: tunneling with a fixed ttl always makes pmtu
+discovery.
+
+.sp
+.RB [ no ] ignore-df
+- enables/disables IPv4 DF suppression on this tunnel.
+Normally datagrams that exceed the MTU will be fragmented; the presence
+of the DF flag inhibits this, resulting instead in an ICMP Unreachable
+(Fragmentation Required) message.  Enabling this attribute casues the
+DF flag to be ignored.

+- specifies the physical device to use for tunnel endpoint communication.
+

+.BR encap " { " fou " | " gue " | " none " }"
+- specifies type of secondary UDP encapsulation. "fou" indicates
+Foo-Over-UDP, "gue" indicates Generic UDP Encapsulation.
+
+.sp
+.BR encap-sport " { " \fIPORT " | " auto " }"
+- specifies the source port in UDP encapsulation.
+.IR PORT
+indicates the port by number, "auto"
+indicates that the port number should be chosen automatically
+(the kernel picks a flow based on the flow hash of the
+encapsulated packet).
