I don't like that because we don't need batman-adv loaded to simply forward 
(bridge) traffic between interfaces. And not being able to use RPS with 
multiple cores just because the batman-adv module (and interfaces) is not 
enabled seems to be counter-intuitive.

Please implement FLOW_DISSECTOR_F_STOP_AT_ENCAP. It may
be used in more flow dissector paths in the future.

The features are also used by GRE, which can encap Ethernet, for an example
that is closer to this protocol.
Thanks for the feedback. I have it now implemented like in GRE.

The change can already be found in
 https://git.open-mesh.org/linux-merge.git/shortlog/refs/heads/ecsv/flowdissector

Kind regards,
	Sven
