With mega-flows, many flows in the kernel datapath are wildcarded.
For someone that is debugging a system and wants to find a particular
flow and its actions, it is a little hard to zero-in on the flow
because some fields are wildcarded.
With the filter='$filter' option, we can now filter on the o/p
of 'ovs-dpctl dump-flows'.

With this commit, whenever the verbosity is enabled with '-m'
option, the ovs-dpctl dump-flows command will display the flows with
in_port field showing the name instead of a port number.
Conversely, one can also use a name in the in_port field with del-flow,
add-flow and mod-flow commands of ovs-dpctl. One should also be able
to use the port name when supplying the datapath flow as an input
to ofproto/trace command.

When verbose mode tuned on, all dp flow fields described by the netlink
attributes are displayed, including fully wildcarded attributes.
Otherwise, the fully wildcarded attributes are omitted for brevity.
Added -m option to "ovs-dpctl dump-flows" to enable verbose mode. It is
off by default.

Until now, datapath ports and openflow ports were both represented by
unsigned integers of various sizes. With implicit conversions, etc., it is
easy to mix them up and use one where the other is expected. This commit
creates two typedefs, ofp_port_t and odp_port_t. Both of these two types
are marked by "__attribute__((bitwise))" so that sparse can be used to
detect any misuse.

Added support to allow mega flow specified and displayed. ovs-dpctl tool
is mainly used as debugging tool.
This patch also implements the low level user space routines to send
and receive mega flow netlink messages. Those netlink suppor
routines are required for forthcoming user space mega flow patches.
Added a unit test to test parsing and display of mega flows.
Ethan contributed the ovs-dpctl mega flow output function.

Two of the users of vlog_set_levels_from_string() in the tests could have
silently failed, if their arguments were invalid. This avoids that problem
(and a memory leak).

The current code has a simple mapping between datapath and OpenFlow port
numbers (the port numbers were the same other than OFPP_LOCAL which maps
to datapath port 0). Since the translation was know at compile time,
this allowed different layers to easily translate between the two, so
the translation often occurred late.
A future commit will break this simple mapping, so this commit draws a
line between where datapath and OpenFlow port numbers are used. The
ofproto-dpif layer will be responsible for the translations. Callers
above will use OpenFlow port numbers. Providers below will use
datapath port numbers.

Before we submitted the kernel module upstream, we updated the flow format
by adding two fields to the description of packets with VLAN headers, but
we forgot to update ODPUTIL_FLOW_KEY_BYTES to reflect these changes. The
result was that a maximum-length flow did not fit in the given space.
This fixes a crash processing IPv6 neighbor discovery packets with VLAN
headers received in a tunnel configured with key=flow or in_key=flow.
This updates some comments to better describe the implications of
ODPUTIL_FLOW_KEY_BYTES (suggested by Justin).
This also updates test-odp.c so that it would have caught this problem, and
updates odp.at to demonstrate that a full 156 bytes are necessary. (To see
that, revert the change to ODPUTIL_FLOW_KEY_BYTES and run the test.)

The prefix "ODP_*" is not overly descriptive in the context of the
larger Linux tree. This commit changes the prefix to "OVS_*" for the
userpace to kernel interactions. The userspace libraries still use
"ODP_" in many of their interfaces since it is more descriptive in the
OVS oeuvre.
