4. clean up the multi-dest tx codeEverybody likes their own code, of course, but I think the original was cleaner. A vxlan_rdst was part of an fdb structure because all fdbs require a remote destination, while the clean-up changes that to a list which may then be NULL, and in my opinion is notably less clean. I don't know the reasoning for that-- perhaps some thread I missed?
Maybe this one: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/271383
So, I guess I don't see what you're trying to fix here, other than
preventing snoop updates on static entries, which I agree with.
