Petr Machata 35225e4740 mlxsw: spectrum_router: Make nexthops typed
In the router, some next hops may reference an encapsulating netdevice,
such as GRE or IPIP. To properly offload these next hops, mlxsw needs to
keep track of whether a given next hop is a regular Ethernet entry, or
an IP-in-IP tunneling entry.

To facilitate this book-keeping, add a type field to struct
mlxsw_sp_nexthop. There is, as of this patch, only one next hop type:
MLXSW_SP_NEXTHOP_TYPE_ETH. Follow-up patches will introduce the IP-in-IP
variant.

There are several places where next hops are initialized in the IPv4
path. Instead of replicating the logic at every one of them, factor it
out to a function mlxsw_sp_nexthop4_type_init(). The corresponding fini
is actually protocol-neutral, so put it to mlxsw_sp_nexthop_type_fini(),
but create a corresponding protocoled _fini function that dispatches to
the protocol-neutral one.

The IPv6 path is simpler, but for symmetry with IPv4, create the same
suite of functions with corresponding logic.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
