Description
Due to lack of testing/usage (both internal, and apparently external), the mobile-IP code
is in poor shape. As a result, when new projects integrate, the support for mobile-IP
is done based purely on code-examination, resulting in a lot of untested code.

e.g., while implementing the fix for CR 6505896, it was noticed that the mobile IP
ire will not get an ire_nce at all (ire_nce_init() does not do anything for 
IRE_MIPRTUN). Attempting to fix all there will involve a bit of code, and the
chance of getting it all right, without testing is minimal.

We need to EOL mobile IP, or bring it back into use (including getting
the test suite back and fixing all issues).
