If there is a way for us to test this without setting up a full mobile
network please provide details on how to do that in the commit log.

That misses the point. From the kernel point of view GTP is just
another encapsulation protocol and we now have a lot of experience
with those. The problem is when you post patches to improve it or fix
issues, if there is no practical way to perform independent analysis
or investigation. This makes GTP no different than a proprietary
protocol to us and that severely limits the value of trying to work
with the community.
