Hi Lorenzo,

After reading your v6 series to add IPv4 over IPv6 and SIT support for
the flowtable, and also considering more recent preparation work that
went into net-next, I made this new series to explore easier integration
of your work.

Patch #1 is your update for dev_fill_forward_path() rebased on top
of nf-next.

Then, patches #2 to #7 revisit and consolidate existing infrastructure
to prepare for the IPv4 over IPv6 and SIT support.

From the flowtable datapath, the idea is to parse initially the layer 2
encapsulation and layer 3 tunnel with nf_flow_skb_encap_protocol().
Then, call the IPv4 or IPv6 flowtable lookup+forward function according
to the (inner, if any) IP header. Finally, there is another check
according on the (outer, if any) IP header to call the nf_flow_queue_xmit{4,6}
function according to the ctx->ether_type, which can be updated by the
forward function.

Let me know if I am missing anything, thanks!
