In that case, I have submitted a new version for mpls_tunnel:

* Removes mpls_tunnel_list
* Removes unneded functions.
* Fixes improper use of dev->mtu (call dev_set_mtu, so the notifications
are sent)
* Adds the SETMOI netlink link
* Cleanups
* Added __mpls_tunnel_create & __mpls_tunnel_destroy
that can be called from a IOCTL callback a netlink callback, etc.

I have tested them quite well (we are in feature freeze :P) but maybe you
could take a look at it...


the important part is that now we recognize a tunnel with
dev->type == ARPHRD_MPLS_TUNNEL
