Allow peers to be specified by IPv6 addresses.

Hmmm, can you just check the socket family or something like that?

I'm not sure what code you're referring to.

There is a socket associated with the tunnel to do the encapsulation
and it has an address family, right?

If fd's are set from userspace for the sockets then we could derive
the address family from them. I'll change that. Although, looking at
now I am wondering why were passing fds into GTP instead of just
having the kernel create the UDP port like is done for other encaps.
