DPDK mbufs contain a valid RSS hash only if PKT_RX_RSS_HASH is
set in 'ol_flags'. Otherwise the hash is garbage and doesn't
relate to the packet.
This fixes an issue with vhost, which, being a virtual NIC, doesn't
compute the hash.

This patch works around issues with some older verison of ethernet drivers,
which tend to reset the NIC when call to disable LRO is made, even if LRO is
already disable on that NIC. NIC reset is not desirable in OVS upgrade scenario

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.

TCA_FQ_CODEL_* not in old kernel headers, causing a build failure against

ourselves. (I haven't tested it against old headers, so I might have
missed something, but it's a straightforward change and at worst won't do

It appears that sfq (also added by the same commit) was in Linux before

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.

Commit 73c85181d (netdev-linux: Read packet auxdata to obtain vlan_tid)
added #include <linux/if_packet.h> to this file, to get the definition
of PACKET_AUXDATA and some other definitions, but on RHEL 6.1 this
provoked compiler errors:
In file included from /usr/include/linux/rtnetlink.h:5,
from lib/netdev-linux.c:34:
/usr/include/linux/netlink.h:34: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list
before 'sa_family_t'
Since the old #includes worked everywhere, and this file already defined
its own versions of most of the new macros that it needed, this commit just
reverts the old #includes and adds the one macro definition it didn't
already have.
(RHEL 6.1 isn't necessarily the only platform where this is a problem, but
it's the first one for which we noticed the problem.)
This switches the definition of sockaddr_ll used from the Linux one, which
uses __be16 for sll_protocol, to the glibc one, which uses plain "unsigned
short int". This makes sparse complain (rightly), so this commit also
adds a sparse-specific header that uses ovs_be16 to prevent the warning.

Previously, we tracked status changes for ofports on a per-device basis.
Each time in the main thread's loop, we would inspect every ofport
to determine whether the status had changed for corresponding devices.
This patch replaces the per-netdev change_seq with a global 'struct seq'
which tracks status change for all ports. In the average case where
ports are not constantly going up or down, this allows us to check the
sequence once per main loop and not poll any ports. In the worst case,
execution is expected to be similar to how it is currently.
In a test environment of 5000 internal ports and 50 tunnel ports with
bfd, this reduces average CPU usage of the main thread from about 40% to
