To be really useful, geneve should open both IPv4 and IPv6 socket when
it's metadata based. Take a look at my recent patchset that does this
for vxlan: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/379282

OK, that seems simple enough.  So we should just assume that a metadata
tunnel could do either protocol at any time?  Or are there more rules
than that?

That should be it, on egress. On ingress, udp_tun_rx_dst needs to be
called with the appropriate family which seems to be missing from your
patch, too (there's AF_INET unconditionally, currently).
