The patch should apply to 2.0 fine - nothing fundamental has changed
in the *gre.c files recently.

Due to Sparc64-recursive-softinterrupts issues, I haven't been able to
test it as thoroughly as I planned (read: I'm not using it in production
yet), but all tests that I ran went well (sparc64 and i386), besides the
mentioned packet scheduling problem on sparc64.

The code changes are trivial enough that a review should be easy :-)

"Please give feedback!"

(Just this minute, I see that is@netbsd.org has assigned the PR to
himself, with the comment "Somebody has to do it.", so it seems there
is some progress ;-) ).

A theory is better than its explanation.
