This adds header structs and helpers for NSH together with GSO support.
Note there is no code in this patchset that actually manipulates the NSH
headers. That was sent to netdev by Yi Yang ("[PATCH net-next v6 0/3]
openvswitch: add NSH support"). The aim of this series is to lay the
groundwork and ease the implementation for him.
In addition to openvswitch, the NSH support should be added to tc (flower to
match, act_nsh to push/pop NSH headers). That will come later. There's
currently no plan to support NSH by other means than those two.
The patch 3 in this patchset was written by Yi Yang, I took it from the
aforementioned series and slightly modified it - see the note in the patch.
