When using tunnel TLVs (at the moment, this means Geneve options), a
controller must first map the class and type onto an appropriate OXM
field so that it can be used in OVS flow operations. This table is
managed using OpenFlow extensions.
The original code that added support for TLVs made the mapping table
global as a simplification. However, this is not really logically
correct as the OpenFlow management commands are operating on a per-bridge
basis. This removes the original limitation to make the table per-bridge.
One nice result of this change is that it is generally clearer whether
the tunnel metadata is in datapath or OpenFlow format. Rather than
allowing ad-hoc format changes and trying to handle both formats in the
tunnel metadata functions, the format is more clearly separated by function.
Datapaths (both kernel and userspace) use datapath format and it is not
changed during the upcall process. At the beginning of action translation,
tunnel metadata is converted to OpenFlow format and flows and wildcards
are translated back at the end of the process.
As an additional benefit, this change improves performance in some flow
setup situations by keeping the tunnel metadata in the original packet
format in more cases. This helps when copies need to be made as the amount
of data touched is only what is present in the packet rather than the
maximum amount of metadata supported.

Add support for OFPT_PACKET_OUT messages in bundles.
While ovs-ofctl already has a packet-out command, we did not have a
string parser for it, as the parsing was done directly from command
line arguments.
This patch adds the string parser for packet-out messages, adds
support for it into the 'ovs-ofctl packet-out' command, and adds a new
ofctl/packet-out ovs-appctl command that can be used when ovs-ofctl is
used as a flow monitor. The old 'ovs-ofctl packet-out syntax is
deprecated' and will be removed in a later OVS release.
The new packet-out parser is further supported with the ovs-ofctl
bundle command, which allows bundles to mix flow mods, group mods and
packet-out messages. Also the packet-outs in bundles are only
executed if the whole bundle is successful. A failing packet-out
translation may also make the whole bundle to fail.

OVS implementation of buffering packets that are sent to the
controller is not compliant with the OpenFlow specifications after
OpenFlow 1.0, which is possibly true since OpenFlow 1.0 is not really
specifying the packet buffering behavior.
OVS implementation executes the buffered packet against the actions of
the modified or added rule, whereas OpenFlow (since 1.1) specifies
that the packet should be matched against the flow table 0 and
processed accordingly.
Rather than fix this behavior, and potentially break OVS users, the
packet buffering feature is removed altogether. After all, such
packet buffering is an optional OpenFlow feature, and as such any
possible users should continue to work without this feature.
This patch also makes OVS check the received 'buffer_id' values more
rigorously, and fixes some internal users accordingly.
Found by inspection.

Allow adding group mods in OpenFlow bundles. Group mods are executed
atomically with any flow mods in the same bundle. Mods are executed
in order, so that groups appearing in flow actions need to be inserted
in to the bundle before the dependent flow mods.
ovs-ofctl is enhanced to allow the '--bundle' option with group mod
commands. add-groups file format is enhanced to allow each line to be
preceded by one of the keywords "add", "modify", "delete",
"add_or_mod", "insert_bucket", or "remove_bucket".
ovs-ofctl also has a new "bundle" command that reads a file in which
each line contains one flow mod or group mod, and then executes them
all as a single atomic bundle transaction.

struct field_array is included in each ofgroup, but the current
implementation is very sparse, using more than 20kb of data.
Also loop over 1-bits instead of each and every MF type to make

It is meaningful for user to check the stats of IPFIX.
Using IPFIX stats, user can know how much flows the system
can support. It is also can be used for performance check
of IPFIX.
IPFIX stats is added for per IPFIX exporter. If bridge IPFIX is
enabled on the bridge, the whole bridge will have one exporter.
For flow IPFIX, the system keeps per id (column in
Flow_Sample_Collector_Set) per exporter.
1) Add 'ovs-ofctl dump-ipfix-bridge SWITCH' to export IPFIX stats of
the bridge which enable bridge IPFIX. The output format:
NXST_IPFIX_BRIDGE reply (xid=0x2):
bridge ipfix: flows=0, current flows=0, sampled pkts=0, \
ipv4 ok=0, ipv6 ok=0, tx pkts=0
pkts errs=0, ipv4 errs=0, ipv6 errs=0, tx errs=0
2) Add 'ovs-ofctl dump-ipfix-flow SWITCH' to export IPFIX stats of
the bridge which enable flow IPFIX. The output format:
NXST_IPFIX_FLOW reply (xid=0x2): 2 ids
id 1: flows=4, current flows=4, sampled pkts=14, ipv4 ok=13, \
ipv6 ok=0, tx pkts=0
pkts errs=0, ipv4 errs=0, ipv6 errs=0, tx errs=0
id 2: flows=0, current flows=0, sampled pkts=0, ipv4 ok=0, \
ipv6 ok=0, tx pkts=0
pkts errs=0, ipv4 errs=0, ipv6 errs=0, tx errs=0
flows: the number of total flow records, including those exported.
current flows: the number of current flow records cached.
sampled pkts: Successfully sampled packet count.
ipv4 ok: successfully sampled IPv4 flow packet count.
ipv6 ok: Successfully sampled IPv6 flow packet count.
tx pkts: the count of IPFIX exported packets sent to the collector(s).
pkts errs: count of packets failed when sampling, maybe not supported or other error.
ipv4 errs: Count of IPV4 flow packet in the error packets.
ipv6 errs: Count of IPV6 flow packet in the error packets.
tx errs: the count of IPFIX exported packets failed when sending to the collector(s).
