This is solely about whether Local= and Remote= belong in .netdev? I am
pretty sure they do, after all this is a weird setup: a tunnel is
something where the link level is actually the network level of the
underlying stack. Hence I think it is right to configure the "low-level"
local and remot IP addresses of the tunnel in .netdev, as long as the
"high-level" local/remote IP addresses of the tunnel stay in .network,
if what I write here makes any sense...
