In L2TPv3, we need to create/delete/modify/query L2TP tunnel and
session contexts. The number of parameters is significant. So let's
use netlink. Userspace uses this API to control L2TP tunnel/session
contexts in the kernel.
The previous pppol2tp driver was managed using [gs]etsockopt(). This
API is retained for backwards compatibility. Unlike L2TPv2 which
carries only PPP frames, L2TPv3 can carry raw ethernet frames or other
frame types and these do not always have an associated socket
family. Therefore, we need a way to use L2TP sessions that doesn't
require a socket type for each supported frame type. Hence netlink is
used.

This patch adds a new L2TPIP socket family and modifies the core to
handle the case where there is no UDP header in the L2TP
packet. L2TP/IP uses IP protocol 115. Since L2TP/UDP and L2TP/IP
packets differ in layout, the datapath packet handling code needs
changes too. Userspace uses an L2TPIP socket instead of a UDP socket
when IP encapsulation is required.
We can't use raw sockets for this because the semantics of raw sockets
don't lend themselves to the socket-per-tunnel model - we need to

The L2TPv3 protocol changes the layout of the L2TP packet
header. Tunnel and session ids change from 16-bit to 32-bit values,
data sequence numbers change from 16-bit to 24-bit values and PPP-specific
fields are moved into protocol-specific subheaders.
Although this patch introduces L2TPv3 protocol support, there are no
userspace interfaces to create L2TPv3 sessions yet.

This patch splits the pppol2tp driver into separate L2TP and PPP parts
to prepare for L2TPv3 support. In L2TPv3, protocols other than PPP can
be carried, so this split creates a common L2TP core that will handle
the common L2TP bits which protocol support modules such as PPP will
use.
Note that the existing pppol2tp module is split into l2tp_core and
l2tp_ppp by this change.
There are no feature changes here. Internally, however, there are
significant changes, mostly to handle the separation of PPP-specific
data from the L2TP session and to provide hooks in the core for
modules like PPP to access.
