Herbert Xu d2acc3479c [INET]: Introduce tunnel4/tunnel6
Basically this patch moves the generic tunnel protocol stuff out of
xfrm4_tunnel/xfrm6_tunnel and moves it into the new files of tunnel4.c
and tunnel6 respectively.

The reason for this is that the problem that Hugo uncovered is only
the tip of the iceberg.  The real problem is that when we removed the
dependency of ipip on xfrm4_tunnel we didn't really consider the module
case at all.

For instance, as it is it's possible to build both ipip and xfrm4_tunnel
as modules and if the latter is loaded then ipip simply won't load.

After considering the alternatives I've decided that the best way out of
this is to restore the dependency of ipip on the non-xfrm-specific part
of xfrm4_tunnel.  This is acceptable IMHO because the intention of the
removal was really to be able to use ipip without the xfrm subsystem.
This is still preserved by this patch.

So now both ipip/xfrm4_tunnel depend on the new tunnel4.c which handles
the arbitration between the two.  The order of processing is determined
by a simple integer which ensures that ipip gets processed before
xfrm4_tunnel.

The situation for ICMP handling is a little bit more complicated since
we may not have enough information to determine who it's for.  It's not
a big deal at the moment since the xfrm ICMP handlers are basically
no-ops.  In future we can deal with this when we look at ICMP caching
in general.

The user-visible change to this is the removal of the TUNNEL Kconfig
prompts.  This makes sense because it can only be used through IPCOMP
as it stands.

The addition of the new modules shouldn't introduce any problems since
module dependency will cause them to be loaded.

Oh and I also turned some unnecessary pskb's in IPv6 related to this
patch to skb's.

tristate "The IPv6 protocol"

---help---
This is complemental support for the IP version 6.
You will still be able to do traditional IPv4 networking as well.
For general information about IPv6, see
<http://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng/html/ipng-main.html>.
For Linux IPv6 development information, see <http://www.linux-ipv6.org>.
For specific information about IPv6 under Linux, read the HOWTO at
<http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/>.
To compile this protocol support as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called ipv6.

---help---
Privacy Extensions for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration in IPv6
support. With this option, additional periodically-alter
pseudo-random global-scope unicast address(es) will assigned to
your interface(s).
We use our standard pseudo random algorithm to generate randomized
interface identifier, instead of one described in RFC 3041.
By default, kernel do not generate temporary addresses.
To use temporary addresses, do
echo 2 >/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/use_tempaddr
See <file:Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt> for details.
