Excellent!  Do you have the patches available somewhere to test?  What is
your solution for {v4, v6} address configuration?

One problem I encountered with GRE is broken IPv6 link-local multicast,
for which a workaround could be needed (well, of course, it would be
better to fix it upstream).  Symptoms: "ping6 ff02::1%gre-tunnel" fails,
but after removing the link-local address and adding a new one, it works.
