Most NICs that report NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL support VXLAN, and not
other UDP-based encapsulation protocols where the format and size of the
header differs. This patch implements a generic ndo_gso_check() for
VXLAN which will only advertise GSO support when the skb looks like it
contains VXLAN (or no UDP tunnelling at all).

Implementation shamelessly stolen from Tom Herbert:

v2: Merge helpers for be2net, mlx4, qlcnic
    Use (sizeof(struct udphdr) + sizeof(struct vxlanhdr))

Joe, any chance you can make the extra step and inline that in
vxlan.h? this is fast path call... you will only need to move struct
vxlanhdr there too.

Or.

Thanks for looking this over, I sent a patch.
