Add data structures that will be used for nexthop replace and delete notifications in the previously introduced nexthop notification chain. New data structures are added instead of passing the existing nexthop code structures directly for several reasons. First, the existing structures encode a lot of bookkeeping information which is irrelevant for listeners of the notification chain. Second, the existing structures can be changed without worrying about introducing regressions in listeners since they are not accessed directly by them. Third, listeners of the notification chain do not need to each parse the relatively complex nexthop code structures. They are passing the required information in a simplified way. Note that a single 'has_encap' bit is added instead of the actual encapsulation information since current listeners do not support such nexthops.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
