We would like to enable the use of siw on top of a VPN that is
constructed and managed via a tun device. That hasn't worked up
until now because ARPHRD_NONE devices (such as tun devices) have
no GID for the RDMA/core to look up.

But it turns out that the egress device has already been picked for
us. addr_handler() just has to do the right thing with it.

I like it, but doesn't this test in siw_main.c also need to change?

static struct siw_device *siw_device_create(struct net_device *netdev)
{
...
-->	if (netdev->type != ARPHRD_LOOPBACK && netdev->type != ARPHRD_NONE) {
		addrconf_addr_eui48((unsigned char *)&base_dev->node_guid,
				    netdev->dev_addr);
	} else {
		/*
		 * This device does not have a HW address,
		 * but connection mangagement lib expects gid != 0
		 */
		size_t len = min_t(size_t, strlen(base_dev->name), 6);
		char addr[6] = { };

		memcpy(addr, base_dev->name, len);
		addrconf_addr_eui48((unsigned char *)&base_dev->node_guid,
				    addr);
	}
