Similar to link attributes in other tunnel drivers (e.g. IFLA_GRE_LINK, IFLA_GRE_FWMARK), user-supplied sockets could have sockopts (e.g. oif, fwmark, TOS). Since some of them may affect encapsulation and routing decision, which are supported in datapath? And do we need some validation here?

I think it would be helpful to include the netns ID and supported sockopts of the peer socket in peer info message.
