Hi Yi,

Both Joe and Jarno have indicated there are no principle problems merging our self-contained user-space patches for L3 tunneling. May I suggest that you (together with Jiri and Eric) focus on the datapath back-ports and the user-space patches on top needed to configure L3 tunnels in the net-next and OVS tree kernel module.
