I think this is a general issue with tunneldomain. It should be
tunneltable since it used for two things. The route lookup of the tunnel
endpoints and to alter the mbufs rdomain on encapsulation / decapsulation.
At least in theory this is how it should work but someone needs to verify
that all drivers really behave like this.
