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.

+ Support for IPv6 Identifier Locator Addressing (ILA).
+
+ ILA is a mechanism to do network virtualization without
+ encapsulation. The basic concept of ILA is that we split an
+ IPv6 address into a 64 bit locator and 64 bit identifier. The
+ identifier is the identity of an entity in communication
+ ("who") and the locator expresses the location of the
+ entity ("where").
+
+ ILA can be configured using the "encap ila" option with
+ "ip -6 route" command. ILA is described in
+ https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-nvo3-ila-00.
