Yep, I know that, this place remained unfinished.

I hope so but see below...

It may sounds good. But only dst->path->ops->confirm_neigh
points to real IPv4/IPv6 function. And also, I guess, the
family can change while walking the chain, so we should be
careful while providing the original daddr (which comes from
sendmsg). I had the idea to walk all xforms to get the latest
tunnel address but this can be slow. Something like this?:
static void xfrm_confirm_neigh(const struct dst_entry *dst, const void
*daddr)
{
const struct dst_entry *path = dst->path;
/* By default, daddr is from sendmsg() if we have no tunnels */
for (;dst != path; dst = dst->child) {
const struct xfrm_state *xfrm = dst->xfrm;
/* Use address from last tunnel */
if (xfrm->props.mode != XFRM_MODE_TRANSPORT)
daddr = &xfrm->id.daddr;
}
path->ops->confirm_neigh(path, daddr);
}
This should work as long as path and last tunnel are
from same family. Also, after checking xfrm_dst_lookup() I'm not
sure using just &xfrm->id.daddr is enough. Should we consider
more places for daddr value?

For now I installed common handler, just like
xfrm_neigh_lookup. BTW this function has problem from
commit f894cbf847c9, it looks like dst is wrongly provided,
first arg should be dst->path.
But as dst_ops contains the family, I think, we can know
what kind of daddr is provided initially (dst->ops->family).
So far, the above logic does not need to compare the families.
But as I don't know the code well, I'm not sure, my assumptions are:
- transports do not change the family
- tunnels may change the family
- last tunnel gets dst0->path route from its family
