    ipv6: sr: add code base for control plane support of SR-IPv6 · 915d7e5e

    This patch adds the necessary hooks and structures to provide support
    for SR-IPv6 control plane, essentially the Generic Netlink commands
    that will be used for userspace control over the Segment Routing
    kernel structures.
    
    The genetlink commands provide control over two different structures:
    tunnel source and HMAC data. The tunnel source is the source address
    that will be used by default when encapsulating packets into an
    outer IPv6 header + SRH. If the tunnel source is set to :: then an
    address of the outgoing interface will be selected as the source.
    
    The HMAC commands currently just return ENOTSUPP and will be implemented
    in a future patch.
