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.

This patch adds set-field operations for nd_target, nd_sll, and nd_tll
fields, with and without masks, using Nicira extensions and OpenFlow 1.2
protocol.

With this commit, the tree compiles clean with sparse commit 87f4a7fda3d
"Teach 'already_tokenized()' to use the stream name hash table" with patch
"evaluate: Allow sizeof(_Bool) to succeed" available at
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.parsers.sparse/2461 applied, as long
as the "include/sparse" directory is included for use by sparse (only),
e.g.:
make CC="CHECK='sparse -I../include/sparse' cgcc"
The IP checksum algorithm yields identical results regardless of whether
arithmetic little-endian or big-endian, but in practice OVS only passes in
big-endian data, so it seems reasonable to annotate these functions that
way.
Occasionally the checksum test on "make check" would fail. This commit
fixes the problem, which was that the partial checksum may need more than
one reduction step to obtain a final checksum. Now running checksum tests
in a continuous loop yields no failures.
