net: Identifier Locator Addressing module
Adding new module name ila. This implements ILA translation. Light
weight tunnel redirection is used to perform the translation in
the data path. This is configured by the "ip -6 route" command
using the "encap ila <locator>" option, where <locator> is the
value to set in destination locator of the packet. e.g.
ip -6 route add 3333:0:0:1:5555:0:1:0/128 \
encap ila 2001:0:0:1 via 2401:db00:20:911a:face:0:25:0
Sets a route where 3333:0:0:1 will be overwritten by
2001:0:0:1 on output.
