Rarp packets had their own header definition in the packets
library. This doesn't make sense because they have the same packet

SUSv3 doesn't require IPPROTO_SCTP so some systems might not provide it.
IPPROTO_SCTP isn't used in the tree yet so this doesn't fix a real bug.

Traditionally Open vSwitch had used 802.2 SNAP packets to update
upstream switch learning tables when necessary. This approach had
advantages in that debugging information could be embedded in the
packet helping hapless admins figure out what's going on. However,
since both qemu and VMware use RARP for this purpose, it seems
appropriate to fall in line with the defacto standard.

Open vSwitch refuses to mirror certain destination addresses in
addition to those classified by eth_addr_is_reserved(). Looking
through the uses of eth_addr_is_reserved(), one finds that no
callers should be using the additional addresses which mirroring
drops. This patch folds the additional addresses dropped in the
mirroring code, into the more general eth_addr_is_reserverd()
function.
This patch also changes the implementation in a way that is
slightly less efficient, but much easier to read and extend int he
future.

It turns out that eth_addr_equal_except() computed the exact
opposite of what it purported to. It returned true if the two
arguments where *not* equal. This is extremely confusing, so this
patch changes it.

With OpenFlow 1.1 requiring arbitrary ethernet match support, it simplifies
other code if we have some extra helper functions. This patch adds
eth_mask_is_exact(mask), eth_addr_bitand(src, mask, dst),
eth_addr_equal_except(a, b, mask) and eth_format_masked(eth, mask, output).

Current userspace considers an ICMP header to be 4 bytes consisting
of the type, code, and checksum. The kernel considers it to be 8
bytes because it also counts the two data fields that contain
type-specific information (and are always present). Since flow
extract will zero out headers that are not completely present this
means that an ICMP packet that has a header of 5-7 bytes will be
interpreted differently by userspace and kernel. This fixes the
problem by adopting the kernel's version of the ICMP header in
userspace.

We had these functions scattered around the source tree anyway. packets.h
is a good place to centralize them.
I do plan to introduce some additional callers.
Currently the kernel vlan actions mirror those used by OpenFlow 1.0.
i.e. MODIFY and STRIP. More flexible approach is to have an action to
push a tag and pop a tag off, so that it can handle multiple levels of vlan
tags. Plus it aligns with newer version of OpenFlow.
As this patch replaces MODIFY with PUSH semantic, action
mapping done in userpace is fixed accordingly.
GSO handling for multiple levels of vlan tags is also added as
Jesse suggested before.

This commit generalizes compose_lacp_packet() into new
compose_packet() function. This new function will be used to send
CCM messages in future patches.
Creates new compose_lacp_pdu() from the old compose_lacp_packet()
function. This will allow a LACP PDU to be created without
necessarily knowing the Ethernet Source Address required for
generating the packet. Future patches rely on this functionality.
This commit implements LACP, a protocol which allows directly
connected switches to automatically negotiate which links may
participate in bonds. This commit disables LACP by default. Once
sufficiently tested, LACP will be enabled in "active" mode on
bonded ports, and "passive" mode on all others.
Bug #4213.
Provides ability to match over IPv6 traffic in the same manner as IPv4.
Currently, the matching fields include:
- IPv6 source and destination addresses (ipv6_src and ipv6_dst)
- Traffic Class (nw_tos)
- Next Header (nw_proto)
- ICMPv6 Type and Code (icmp_type and icmp_code)
- TCP and UDP Ports over IPv6 (tp_src and tp_dst)
When defining IPv6 rules, the Nicira Extensible Match (NXM) extension to
OVS must be used.

A few common IP protocol types were defined in "lib/packets.h". However,
we already assume the existence of <netinet/in.h> which contains a more
exhaustive list and should be available on POSIX systems.
One of the goals for Open vSwitch is to decouple kernel and userspace
software, so that either one can be upgraded or rolled back independent of
the other. To do this in full generality, it must be possible to change
the kernel's idea of the flow key separately from the userspace version.
In turn, that means that flow keys must become variable-length. This
commit makes that change using Netlink attribute sequences.
This commit does not actually make userspace flexible enough to handle
changes in the kernel flow key structure, because userspace doesn't yet
have enough information to do that intelligently. Upcoming commits will
fix that.

This commit implements a subset of the 802.1ag specification for
Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) using Continuity Check Messages
(CCM). When CFM is configured on an interface CCMs are broadcast
at regular intervals to detect missing or unexpected connectivity.
This allows eliminating padding from odp_flow_key, although actually doing
that is postponed until the next commit.

Open vSwitch has never properly supported IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP), but it has various bits and pieces that claim to support
it. This commit deletes them, to reduce the amount of dead code in the
tree. We can always reintroduce it later if it proves to be a good idea.
