These patches are meant to try and address the fact the VTI tunnels are
currently overwriting the skb->mark value.  I am generally happy with the
first two patches, however the third patch still modifies the skb->mark,
though it undoes after the fact.

I don't see any better solution, so I think this should be ok for now.
On the long run we need to replace this gre key/mark matching with
a separate interface.

The main problem I am trying to address is the fact that currently if I use
an v6 over v6 VTI tunnel I cannot receive any traffic on the interface as
the skb->mark is bleeding through and causing the traffic to be dropped.

This is broken in the current mainline, so it should go into the ipsec
tree as a bugfix. I'd merge this patchset if you submit it to that tree.

Thanks!
