Kernel 4.14.79 with ipvlan support

I posted earlier this year about configuring the kernel for veth and macvlan support:

...though, I think that should have been the "4.14.45" kernel.

I posted earlier today about macvlan bridging into containers not working for wifi:

So, started to experiment, but found that the Linux kernel is not configured to support ipvlan. CONFIG_IPVLAN is supposed to be enabled, but I had overlooked it, as it is not even listed as disabled in the .config file. How can I enable it, if it isn't even offered?

After a bit of research, discovered that something else has to be enabled, then CONFIG_IPVLAN appears and can be enabled. So, compiled the 4.14.79 kernel, with these changes:

Networking support
  Networking options
    [*] L3 master device support (CONFIG_NET_L3_MASTER_DEV)
Device drivers
  Network device support
    <*> IP-VLAN support (CONFIG_IPVLAN)

The kernel source, patches and build scripts, are here:

Tomorrow morning, planning to play with ipvlan!
