I was trying this change and i found i dont have a lot of generic code here.

Populating L4 ports is function of the protocol implementation
and it is differnt for geneve and for bareudp

The one thing we could do is to write a generic API to derive the 
tunnel src address.

But since it is a very small piece i dont see much value add by making it 
generic and i prefer to keep the way as it is now

But i am open for both the option. What you think ?
