> Change Log:
>   V1->V2: 1. Add prototype for MD type 2 support. Since the MD type 2
>              uses the same TLV format of Geneve, so this patch set
>              implements a prototype for MD type 2 support by reusing
>              the TUN_METADATA APIs and data structures for Geneve. BTW,
>              all the Geneve specific APIs will be renamed to be more
>              generic in the following patch iterations if this approach
>              makes sense.
>           2. Add Ethernet transport support. To remove the dependency
>              on Simon' patches for raw protocol support, we enable
>              Ethernet as a supported NSH transport. Hence explicit flow
>              actions push_eth/pop_eth to push/pop Ethernet header are added.

This patch set is still RFC patch for open discussion. The patch set mainly contains
MD type 2 prototype and push_eth/pop_eth support.  Any comments/advice
Are welcome! Thanks!
