This pair of patches add configuration of TTL and TOS settings for
GENEVE tunnel packets.  These settings follow the same conventions
as the VXLAN counterparts.

These patches include man page changes.  Therefore, they depend on
the preceding "iproute2: update ip-link.8 for geneve tunnels" patch,
posted to netdev on 22 May 2015.

Thanks,

John
