Hi!

No worries! After some reflection, the '--force-encapsulation' patch IMO is
not the correct way to go, but I did not know how to recall it once it was
acknowledged ... :-(
I would prefer to have the patch that allows the generic options instead,
so that 'options:ipsec_encapsulation=yes' can be specified.
So, I think that `ovs-monitor-ipsec: Allow custom options per tunnel` is
the correct way to go forward and we can cancel the other patch that I
submitted as it's the wrong approach for solving this problem.
