The ip6_tunnel.c module would be then dependent on ip_tunnel.c and may be it would not be good thing? As I have check in v3.10 there is no call from ip6_tunnel to ip_tunnel...
For information, there is no check for the maximum MTU for ipv4 in the patch as this is not done for ipv6.
Regards, Oussama
