The GPE version needs:

 - l3_vxlan_en
 - set its own tunnel bit (as in this case the following layer may
   directly be an L3)

Indeed there are some common code (as for the TCP/UDP) but sharing it
will be more difficult to read and fix in case of bugs.

In addition if this RFC [1] is fully dropped it will be easier to remove
the dedicated code when the ITEM in the API will also be removed, it may
not be from Mellanox PMD team but from anyone proposing the drop.  The
chances he breaks anything if the code is shared among several items is
high.  It is better to have a single function per item/action according
to the API directly.
