Unlike IPv6 tunnels which use purely-kernel __ip6_tnl_parm structure to store params inside the kernel, IPv4 tunnel code uses the same ip_tunnel_parm which is being used to talk with the userspace. This makes it difficult to alter or add any fields or use a different format for whatever data. Define struct ip_tunnel_parm_kern, a 1:1 copy of ip_tunnel_parm for now, and use it throughout the code. Define the pieces, where the copy user <-> kernel happens, as standalone functions, and copy the data there field-by-field, so that the kernel-side structure could be easily modified later on and the users wouldn't have to care about this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
