We've already been bitten by having things like the VXLAN port number change on us after we've deployed the feature already. So this must be finalized in a real RFC before I am willing to consider this patch. Also, I and everyone else, wants to see the user of these new flags and behavior. That means you must post the entire SMC-R protocol stack implementation at the time that you want this set of changes integrated. I'm not applying this patch until both of those issues are fully resolved.
