Allow the MTU of vxlan devices without an underlying device to be set to larger values (up to a maximum based on IP packet limits and vxlan overhead). Previously, their MTUs could not be set to higher than the conventional ethernet value of 1500. This is a very arbitrary value in the context of vxlan, and prevented such vxlan devices from being able to take advantage of jumbo frames etc. The default MTU remains 1500, for compatibility.

Acked-by: Roopa Prabhu <redacted> I have an internal patch which does the same thing and was hoping to post it soon. I am not using ovs. so, I am not closely following the thread on the other patch in the series. But, this patch certainly stands on its own and is required.
