This adds a device level support for Geneve -- Generic Network

Only protocol layer Geneve support is provided by this driver.
Openvswitch can be used for configuring, set up and tear down
functional Geneve tunnels.

So all this is really doing is enabling a Geneve socket for use by
Openvswitch.  Do you have any plans to enable a stand alone interface
like what we already have for VXLAN?

Thanks,
