ipvlan: Initial check-in of the IPVLAN driver.

This driver is very similar to the macvlan driver except that it
uses L3 on the frame to determine the logical interface while
functioning as packet dispatcher. It inherits L2 of the master
device hence the packets on wire will have the same L2 for all
the packets originating from all virtual devices off of the same
master device.

This driver was developed keeping the namespace use-case in
mind. Hence most of the examples given here take that as the
base setup where main-device belongs to the default-ns and
virtual devices are assigned to the additional namespaces.

The device operates in two different modes and the difference
in these two modes in primarily in the TX side.

(a) L2 mode : In this mode, the device behaves as a L2 device.
TX processing upto L2 happens on the stack of the virtual device
associated with (namespace). Packets are switched after that
into the main device (default-ns) and queued for xmit.

RX processing is simple and all multicast, ...

+                            IPVLAN Driver HOWTO
+
+Initial Release:
+	Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb AT google.com>
+
+1. Introduction:
+	This is conceptually very similar to the macvlan driver with one major
+exception of using L3 for mux-ing /demux-ing among slaves. This property makes
+the master device share the L2 with it's slave devices. I have developed this
+driver in conjuntion with network namespaces and not sure if there is use case
+outside of it.
+
+
+2. Building and Installation:
+	In order to build the driver, please select the config item CONFIG_IPVLAN.
+The driver can be built into the kernel (CONFIG_IPVLAN=y) or as a module
+(CONFIG_IPVLAN=m).
+
+
+3. Configuration:
+	There are no module parameters for this driver and it can be configured
+using IProute2/ip utility.
+
+	ip link add link <master-dev> <slave-dev> type ipvlan mode { l2 | L3 }
+
+	e.g. ip link add link ipvl0 eth0 type ipvlan mode l2
+
+
+4. Operating modes:
+	IPvlan has two modes of operation - L2 and L3. For a given master device,
+you can select one of these two modes and all slaves on that master will
+operate in the same (selected) mode. The RX mode is almost identical except
+that in L3 mode the slaves wont receive any multicast / broadcast traffic.
+L3 mode is more restrictive since routing is controlled from the other (mostly)
+default namespace.
+
+4.1 L2 mode:
+	In this mode TX processing happens on the stack instance attached to the
+slave device and packets are switched and queued to the master device to send
+out. In this mode the slaves will RX/TX multicast and broadcast (if applicable)
+as well.
+
+4.2 L3 mode:
+	In this mode TX processing upto L3 happens on the stack instance attached
+to the slave device and packets are switched to the stack instance of the
+master device for the L2 processing and routing from that instance will be
+used before packets are queued on the outbound device. In this mode the slaves
+will not receive nor can send multicast / broadcast traffic.
+
+
+5. What to choose (macvlan vs. ipvlan)?
+	These two devices are very similar in many regards and the specific use
+case could very well define which device to choose. if one of the following
+situations defines your use case then you can choose to use ipvlan -
+	(a) The Linux host that is connected to the external switch / router has
+policy configured that allows only one mac per port.
+	(b) No of virtual devices created on a master exceed the mac capacity and
+puts the NIC in promiscous mode and degraded performance is a concern.
+	(c) If the slave device is to be put into the hostile / untrusted network
+namespace where L2 on the slave could be changed / misused.
+
+
+6. Example configuration:

+	(a) Create two network namespaces - ns0, ns1

+		ip link add link eth0 ipvl0 type ipvlan mode l2

+
+	(c) Assign slaves to the respective network namespaces
+		ip link set dev ipvl0 netns ns0
+		ip link set dev ipvl1 netns ns1
+
+	(d) Now switch to the namespace (ns0 or ns1) to configure the slave devices
+		- For ns0
+			(1) ip netns exec ns0 bash
+			(2) ip link set dev ipvl0 up
+			(3) ip link set dev lo up
+			(4) ip -4 addr add 127.0.0.1 dev lo
+			(5) ip -4 addr add $IPADDR dev ipvl0
+			(6) ip -4 route add default via $ROUTER dev ipvl0
+		- For ns1
+			(1) ip netns exec ns1 bash
+			(2) ip link set dev ipvl1 up
+			(3) ip link set dev lo up
+			(4) ip -4 addr add 127.0.0.1 dev lo
+			(5) ip -4 addr add $IPADDR dev ipvl1
+			(6) ip -4 route add default via $ROUTER dev ipvl1
