So what's left, GRE?  GRE is actually different, in that it's not IP at
all.

So if we are talking about GRE, hash is indeed not calculated at all at
the moment, right?  And I would say a natural first step for GRE is
actually adding a hash type that will support this protocol.

How about doing that? It seems like this should be a small step
and completely uncontroversial.
