Re: [PATCH net-next 11/18] vxlan: Add netif_is_vxlan()

Add the ability to determine whether a netdev is a VxLAN netdev by
calling the above mentioned function that checks the netdev's private
flags.

This will allow modules to identify netdev events involving a VxLAN
netdev and act accordingly. For example, drivers capable of VxLAN
offload will need to configure the underlying device when a VxLAN netdev
is being enslaved to an offloaded bridge.

Is this preferable over

!strcmp(netdev->rtnl_link_ops->kind, "vxlan")

which is what TC offloads do?
