    gre: Add Transparent Ethernet Bridging · e1a80002

    This patch adds support for Ethernet over GRE encapsulation.
    This is exposed to user-space with a new link type of "gretap"
    instead of "gre".  It will create an ARPHRD_ETHER device in
    lieu of the usual ARPHRD_IPGRE.
    
    Note that to preserver backwards compatibility all Transparent
    Ethernet Bridging packets are passed to an ARPHRD_IPGRE tunnel
    if its key matches and there is no ARPHRD_ETHER device whose
    key matches more closely.
