Cover letter [bpf-next v1 0/9] bpf: Add helper to do FIB lookups
Provide a helper for doing a FIB and neighbor lookup in the kernel tables from an XDP program. The helper provides a fastpath for forwarding packets. If the packet is a local delivery or for any reason is not a simple lookup and forward, the packet is expected to continue up the stack for full processing.
The response from a FIB and neighbor lookup is either the egress index with the bpf_fib_lookup struct filled in with dmac and gateway or 0 meaning the packet should continue up the stack. In time we can visit this to return the FIB lookup result errno if it is one of the special RTN_'s such as RTN_BLACKHOLE (-EINVAL) so that the XDP programs can do an early drop if desired.
Patches 1-6 do some more refactoring to IPv6 with the end goal of extracting a FIB lookup function that aligns with fib_lookup for IPv4, basically returning a fib6_info without creating a dst based entry.
Patch 7 adds lookup functions to the ipv6 stub. These are needed since bpf is built into the kernel and ipv6 may not be built or loaded.
Patch 8 adds the bpf helper and 9 adds a sample program.

- added comment to sample program noting lack of verification on egress device supporting XDP
RFC v2
- fixed use of foward helper from cls_act as noted by Daniel
