Commit 1895cc8dbb64 ("dpif-netdev: create batch object") introduces
batch process functions and 'struct dp_packet_batch' to associate with
batch-level metadata. This patch applies the packet batch object to
the netdev provider interface (dummy, Linux, BSD, and DPDK) so that
batch APIs can be used in providers. With batch metadata visible in
providers, optimizations can be introduced at per-batch level instead
of per-packet.

The patch adds a new action to support packet truncation. The new action
is formatted as 'output(port=n,max_len=m)', as output to port n, with
packet size being MIN(original_size, m).
One use case is to enable port mirroring to send smaller packets to the
destination port so that only useful packet information is mirrored/copied,
saving some performance overhead of copying entire packet payload. Example
use case is below as well as shown in the testcases:
- Output to port 1 with max_len 100 bytes.
- The output packet size on port 1 will be MIN(original_packet_size, 100).
# ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 'actions=output(port=1,max_len=100)'
- The scope of max_len is limited to output action itself. The following
packet size of output:1 and output:2 will be intact.
# ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 \
'actions=output(port=1,max_len=100),output:1,output:2'
- The Datapath actions shows:
# Datapath actions: trunc(100),1,1,2

This introduces in dpif-netdev and netdev-dpdk the first use for the
newly introduce reconfigure netdev call.
When a request to change the number of queues comes, netdev-dpdk will
remember this and notify the upper layer via
netdev_request_reconfigure().
The datapath, instead of periodically calling netdev_set_multiq(), can
detect this and call reconfigure().
This mechanism can also be used to:
* Automatically match the number of rxq with the one provided by qemu
via the new_device callback.
* Provide a way to change the MTU of dpdk devices at runtime.
* Move a DPDK vhost device to the proper NUMA socket.

A netdev provider, especially a PMD provider (like netdev DPDK) might
not be able to change some of its parameters (such as MTU, or number of
queues) without stopping everything and restarting.
This commit introduces a mechanism that allows a netdev provider to
request a restart (netdev_request_reconfigure()). The upper layer can
be notified via netdev_wait_reconf_required() and
netdev_is_reconf_required(). After closing all the rxqs the upper layer
can finally call netdev_reconfigure(), to make sure that the new
configuration is in place.
This will be used by next commit to reconfigure rx and tx queues in
netdev-dpdk.

Implementation of new statistics extension for DPDK ports:
- Add new counters definition to netdev struct and open flow,
based on RFC2819.
- Initialize netdev statistics as "filtered out"
before passing it to particular netdev implementation
(because of that change, statistics which are not
collected are reported as filtered out, and some
unit tests were modified in this respect).
- New statistics are retrieved using experimenter code and
are printed as a result to ofctl dump-ports.
- New counters are available for OpenFlow 1.4+.
- Add new vendor id: INTEL_VENDOR_ID.
- New statistics are printed to output via ofctl only if those
are present in reply message.
- Add new file header: include/openflow/intel-ext.h which
contains new statistics definition.
- Extended statistics are implemented only for dpdk-physical
and dpdk-vhost port types.
- Dpdk-physical implementation uses xstats to collect statistics.
- Dpdk-vhost implements only part of statistics (RX packet sized
based counters).

Valgrind reports "Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value"
and "Use of uninitialised value" at case 2016 ovn -- 3 HVs, 1 LS, 3
lports/HV. It is caused by 1) assigning an uninitialized value to 'key->hash'
at emc_processing(). Due to uninit rss_hash_valid, dp_packet_rss_valid() might
return true and undefined hash value is returned, and 2) at emc_lookup, the
'current_entry->key.hash' could be uninitialized due to dp_packet_clone().
The patch fixes the two and as a result, a couple of calls to
dp_packet_rss_invalidate() become redundant and thus are removed.

- Connditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)

Until now it's been pretty hard to properly test any of the queue support,
because the dummy network device doesn't have any queues. By adding one
queue to the dummy network device (queue 0), we can get slightly higher

even better if we made the dummy network device support modifying the

Define struct eth_addr and use it instead of a uint8_t array for all
ethernet addresses in OVS userspace. The struct is always the right
size, and it can be assigned without an explicit memcpy, which makes
code more readable.
"struct eth_addr" is a good type name for this as many utility
functions are already named accordingly.
struct eth_addr can be accessed as bytes as well as ovs_be16's, which
makes the struct 16-bit aligned. All use seems to be 16-bit aligned,
so some algorithms on the ethernet addresses can be made a bit more
efficient making use of this fact.
As the struct fits into a register (in 64-bit systems) we pass it by
value when possible.
This patch also changes the few uses of Linux specific ETH_ALEN to
OVS's own ETH_ADDR_LEN, and removes the OFP_ETH_ALEN, as it is no
longer needed.
This work stemmed from a desire to make all struct flow members
assignable for unrelated exploration purposes. However, I think this
might be a nice code readability improvement by itself.

Until now there have been two variants for --enable-dummy:
* --enable-dummy: This adds support for "dummy" dpif and netdev.
* --enable-dummy=override: In addition, this replaces *every* existing
dpif and netdev by the dummy type.
The latter is useful for testing but it defeats the possibility of using
the userspace native tunneling implementation (because all the tunnel
netdevs get replaced by dummy netdevs). Thus, this commit adds a third
variant:
* --enable-dummy=system: This replaces the "system" dpif and netdev
by dummies but leaves the others untouched.

Following patch adds support for userspace tunneling. Tunneling
needs three more component first is routing table which is configured by
caching kernel routes and second is ARP cache which build automatically
by snooping arp. And third is tunnel protocol table which list all
listening protocols which is populated by vswitchd as tunnel ports
are added. GRE and VXLAN protocol support is added in this patch.
Tunneling works as follows:
On packet receive vswitchd check if this packet is targeted to tunnel
port. If it is then vswitchd inserts tunnel pop action which pops
header and sends packet to tunnel port.
On packet xmit rather than generating Set tunnel action it generate
tunnel push action which has tunnel header data. datapath can use
tunnel-push action data to generate header for each packet and
forward this packet to output port. Since tunnel-push action
contains most of packet header vswitchd needs to lookup routing
table and arp table to build this action.
