This commit introduces a new data structure used for receiving packets from
netdevs and passing them to dpifs.
The purpose of this change is to allow storing some private data for each
packet. The subsequent commits make use of it.

lib/dpif-netdev.c:1868:5: error: statement with no effect
This error message is complaining the return value of the following
macro not being used.

Following patch adds DPDK netdev-class to userspace datapath. Now
OVS can use DPDK port for IO by just configuring DPDK port and then
adding dpdk type port to userspace datapath.
Refer to INSTALL.DPDK doc for further info.
This is based a patch from Gerald Rogers.
