[PATCH v3 0/1] vxlan: allow for dynamic source ip selection

[Johannes Kimmel]

V3 removes the maybe unnecessary inherit option for simpler code.

The question was raised, whether the inherit option was necessary or the
new behaviour was stricty necessry. I tried to come a with an example
where the old behaviour (deriving a source address from the tunlink
interface) was important. 

Judging from the silence around the last patch version, I didn't make a
convincing argument for the inherit option. 

The option to specify "auto" as ipaddr/ip6addr was retained to have a
readable way to specify this behaviour.

Therefore I propose this patch, which completely replaces the old
behaviour with the new source address auto-selection.

Should there be an argument for the inherit option down the road, we can
add it then and use V2 of this patch as the blueprint again.
