> Since the i40e driver now supports VxLAN, GRE, and soon to be Geneve
> tunnels, the driver can just note that an skb contains a tunneled packet
> generically, instead of calling out VXLAN specifically.  The tunnel set up we do
> for hardware is almost always the same for all tunnel types.
> 
> This specifically enables ATR/Flow Director on GRE packets which increases
> performance/scaling.  Without this patch GRE RX packets end up on a
> random RSS assigned queue.
