Subject: [PATCH nf-next v8 0/3] Add IPIP flowtable SW acceleration

Introduce SW acceleration for IPIP tunnels in the netfilter flowtable
infrastructure. This series introduces basic infrastructure to
accelerate other tunnel types (e.g. IP6IP6).

Changes in v8:
- Rebase on top of the following series (not yet applied)
  https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netfilter-devel/list/?series=477081
- Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251021-nf-flowtable-ipip-v7-0-a45214896106@kernel.org

Changes in v7:
- Introduce sw acceleration for tx path of IPIP tunnels
- Rely on exact match during flowtable entry lookup
- Fix typos
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250818-nf-flowtable-ipip-v6-0-eda90442739c@kernel.org

Changes in v6:
- Rebase on top of nf-next main branch
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250721-nf-flowtable-ipip-v5-0-0865af9e58c6@kernel.org

Changes in v5:
- Rely on __ipv4_addr_hash() to compute the hash used as encap ID
- Remove unnecessary pskb_may_pull() in nf_flow_tuple_encap()
- Add nf_flow_ip4_ecanp_pop utility routine
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250718-nf-flowtable-ipip-v4-0-f8bb1c18b986@kernel.org

Changes in v4:
- Use the hash value of the saddr, daddr and protocol of outer IP header as
  encapsulation id.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250703-nf-flowtable-ipip-v3-0-880afd319b9f@kernel.org

Changes in v3:
- Add outer IP header sanity checks
- target nf-next tree instead of net-next
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250627-nf-flowtable-ipip-v2-0-c713003ce75b@kernel.org

Changes in v2:
- Introduce IPIP flowtable selftest
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250623-nf-flowtable-ipip-v1-1-2853596e3941@kernel.org
