isisd: IS-IS over tunnel (GRE, GENEVE)

[miegl]

This patch introduces a new BFP filter in isis_pfpacket.c, which in addition to IS-IS over LLC also permits IS-IS over Ethertype 0x00fe. This makes IS-IS work over tunnels such as GRE.

Tested IS-IS over Ethernet, IS-IS over GRE and IS-IS over GENEVE (GENEVE requires upstreaming a kernel patch).

Resolves #2330 (may need setting isis network point-to-point).

Which kernel patch is needed for GENEVE case ? Please, share a URL.

These are the kernel patches in question:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/[email protected]/

With these two patches, a GENEVE tunnel created with innerprotoinherit (man 8 ip-link) can carry IS-IS traffic (byte 0x83) with Protocol Type 0x00fe, without the overhead of Ethernet. One usecase for this is a virtual MPLS/SR-MPLS network, as GENEVE can carry MPLS and IS-IS directly, without Ethernet.
