When packet encapsulation is in use, the MTU needs to be reduced for
headroom reservation.
The existing code takes the updated MTU value only from the host side.
But vSwitch extensions, such as Open vSwitch, require the flexibility
to change the MTU to different values from within a guest during the
lifecycle of a vNIC, when the encapsulation protocol is changed. The
patch supports this kind of MTU changes.

How did you calculate 68?  Avoid magic numbers like this, make it a
define.

The number 68 is same as the common code in eth_change_mtu(). I think it
came from the protocol requirement:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_transmission_unit

Sure, I will put the number in a define, and resubmit the patch.

Thanks,
