Many of our kernel copyright messages make reference to code being
copied from the Linux kernel, which is a bit odd for code in the
kernel. This changes them to use the standard GNU GPL boilerplate
instead. It does not change the actual license, which continues to
be GPLv2.

In the future it is likely that our vlan support will expand to
include multiply tagged packets. When this happens, we would
ideally like for it to be consistent with our current tagging.
Currently, if we receive a packet with a partial VLAN tag we will
automatically drop it in the kernel, which is unique among the
protocols we support. The only other reason to drop a packet is
a memory allocation error. For a doubly tagged packet, we will
parse the first tag and indicate that another tag was present but
do not drop if the second tag is incorrect as we do not parse it.
This changes the behavior of the vlan parser to match other protocols
and also deeper tags by indicating the presence of a broken tag with
the 802.1Q EtherType but no vlan information. This shifts the policy
decision to userspace on whether to drop broken tags and allows us to
uniformly add new levels of tag parsing.
Although additional levels of control are provided to userspace, this
maintains the current behavior of dropping packets with a broken
tag when using the NORMAL action because that is the correct behavior
for an 802.1Q-aware switch. The userspace flow parser actually
already had the new behavior so this corrects an inconsistency.

When the datapath was converted to use Netlink attributes for describing
flow keys, I had a vague idea of how it could be smoothly extensible, but
I didn't actually implement extensibility or carefully think it through.
This commit adds a document that describes how flow keys can be extended
in a compatible fashion and adapts the existing interface to match what
it says.
This commit doesn't actually implement extensibility. I already have a
separate patch series out for that. This patch series borrows from that
one heavily, but the extensibility series will need to be reworked
somewhat once this one is in.
This commit is only lightly tested because I don't have a good test setup
for VLANs.

It's useful to be able to track sets of attributes by using their values as
bit indexes. That's easier if the values are all in the range of a basic
C integer type.

IPv6 uses the term "traffic class" for what IPv4 calls
"type-of-service". This commit renames the the "ipv6_tos" field to
"ipv6_tclass" in the "ovs-key_ipv6" struct to be more consistent with
the IPv6 terminology.

Add support matching the IPv4 TTL and IPv6 hop limit fields. This
commit also adds support for modifying the IPv4 TTL. Modifying the IPv6
hop limit isn't currently supported, since we don't support modifying
IPv6 headers.
We will likely want to change the user-space interface, since basic
matching and setting the TTL are not generally useful. We will probably
want the ability to match on extraordinary events (such as TTL of 0 or 1)
and a decrement action.

The interfaces related to tunneling aren't finalized enough to be
sent upstream but we also still want to retain them in the OVS
repository. Since userspace should be compatible with both versions
of the kernel, this renumbers the tunnel interfaces to high numbers
so that we can continue to add new interfaces without conflict.

Following patch adds skb-priority to flow key. So userspace will know
what was priority when packet arrived and we can remove the pop/reset
priority action. It's no longer necessary to have a special action for
pop that is based on the kernel remembering original skb->priority.
Userspace can just emit a set priority action with the original value.
Since the priority field is a match field with just a normal set action,
we can convert it into the new model for actions that are based on
matches.

Bug #7715
Generally we've used the comments to the right of attribute enums to
explain the types of the arguments and the ones above them to explain their
meaning. This is a reasonable separation since it ensures that the type
of the argument is obvious, which in my opinion is important.
This updates a few comments to match this pattern.

Until now, OVS has handled IP fragments more awkwardly than necessary. It
has not been possible to match on L4 headers, even in fragments with offset
0 where they are actually present. This means that there was no way to
implement ACLs that treat, say, different TCP ports differently, on
fragmented traffic; instead, all decisions for fragment forwarding had to
be made on the basis of L2 and L3 headers alone.
This commit improves the situation significantly. It is still not possible
to match on L4 headers in fragments with nonzero offset, because that
information is simply not present in such fragments, but this commit adds
the ability to match on L4 headers for fragments with zero offset. This
means that it becomes possible to implement ACLs that drop such "first
fragments" on the basis of L4 headers. In practice, that effectively
blocks even fragmented traffic on an L4 basis, because the receiving IP
stack cannot reassemble a full packet when the first fragment is missing.
This commit works by adding a new "fragment type" to the kernel flow match
and making it available through OpenFlow as a new NXM field named
NXM_NX_IP_FRAG. Because OpenFlow 1.0 explicitly says that the L4 fields
are always 0 for IP fragments, it adds a new OpenFlow fragment handling
mode that fills in the L4 fields for "first fragments". It also enhances
ovs-ofctl to allow users to configure this new fragment handling mode and
to parse the new field.

Bug #7557.
Almost all current actions can be expressed in the form of
push/pop/set <field>, where field is one of the match fields. We can
create three base actions and take a field. This has both a nice
symmetry and avoids inconsistencies where we can match on the vlan
TPID but not set it.
Following patch converts all actions to this new format.
