Bug#846913: CONFIG_GTP is not set / gtp.ko module not built

[Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org>]

Package: src:linux
Version: 4.8.7-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Debian kernel team, it would be great if you could activate the
(newly-introduced) CONFIG_GTP kernel option to build the related kernel
module.  The Module implements the 3GPP GTP (Generic Tunneling Protocol)
and has no impact on any other parts of the kernel or networking
sub-system, except that one addtiional tunneling protocol is present,
which some users might use and others not.

There are several Free Software userspace programs using the GTP module,
including OpenGGSN, ergw and OpenAirInterface.

Thanks in advance for your consideration!
