net: mctp: Add support for gateway routing
This series adds a gateway route type for the MCTP core, allowing
non-local EIDs as the match for a route.
Example setup using the mctp tools:
mctp route add 9 via mctpi2c0
mctp neigh add 9 dev mctpi2c0 lladdr 0x1d
mctp route add 10 gw 9
- will route packets to eid 10 through mctpi2c0, using a dest lladdr
of 0x1d (ie, that of the directly-attached eid 9).
The core change to support this is the introduction of a struct
mctp_dst, which represents the result of a route lookup. Since this
involves a bit of surgery through the routing code, we add a few tests
along the way.
We're introducing an ABI change in the new RTM_{NEW,GET,DEL}ROUTE
netlink formats, with the support for a RTA_GATEWAY attribute. Because
we need a network ID specified to fully-qualify a gateway EID, the
RTA_GATEWAY attribute carries the (net, eid) tuple in full:
struct mctp_fq_addr {
unsigned int net;
mctp_eid_t eid;
}
Of course, any questions, comments etc are most welcome.

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 reStructuredText 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.
