I fixed mirror-gre-lag-lacp, but the whole mirroring suite is a glorious
mess. In ancient past it used to use ping. These days it uses MZ, but it
still relies on the fact that ICMP packets are sent, including responses
these elicit, and makes all sorts of assumptions around that. And then a
router advertisement comes along and throws the counting out the window.
I'm moving it all over to UDP, but it'll take a bit.
