ovs_tnl_find_port() could be a lot cheaper in the null_ports case (I
think it could just check a 3-element array indexed on tunnel_type).
Oh, I guess network namespaces make it harder.  Maybe that's an
optimization for the future.

In tnl_set_config(), with port_table_lookup() moved to the end, do we
need to back out the ip_mc_inc_group() that we've done just above in
the multicast case?

I didn't look around for code that might not like daddr == 0.

Thanks,

Ben.
