I personally don't buy any of this desire to avoid iproute2
changes at this time.

This is never how we handle this kind of situation.

We add in the new feature, and add support to iproute2 in
parallel.  If we screw it up we figure that out quickly
and fix things before it's been deployed for too long.

I suspect you simply want users to just be able to use the
new feature with only a kernel patch, but that's not an
appropriate reason to not do things correctly when submitting
a feature upstream.

Please use the new name in the kernel side changes and implement
iproute2 support for these ISATAP devices.

Thank you.
