Existing DPDK integration is provided by use of command line options which
must be split out and passed to librte in a special manner. However, this
forces any configuration to be passed by way of a special DPDK flag, and
interferes with ovs+dpdk packaging solutions.
This commit delays dpdk initialization until after the OVS database
connection is established, at which point ovs initializes librte. It
pulls all of the config data from the OVS database, and assembles a
new argv/argc pair to be passed along.

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.

The addition of Geneve options to packet metadata significantly
expanded its size. It was reported that this can decrease performance
for DPDK ports by up to 25% since we need to initialize the whole
structure on each packet receive.
It is not really necessary to zero out the entire structure because
miniflow_extract() only copies the tunnel metadata when particular
fields indicate that it is valid. Therefore, as long as we zero out
these fields when the metadata is initialized and ensure that the
rest of the structure is correctly set in the presence of a tunnel,
we can avoid touching the tunnel fields on packet reception.

If we receive a packet with an invalid tunnel header, we
should drop the packet without further processing. Currently
we do this by removing any parsed tunnel metadata. However,
this is not sufficient to stop processing - this only results
in the packet getting dropped by chance when something
usually runs across part of the packet that does not make
sense. Since both the packet and its metadata are in an
inconsistent state, it's also possible that the result is
an ovs-vswitchd crash or forwarding of a mangled packet.
Rather than clear the metadata, an alternate solution is to
remove all of the packet data. This guarantees that the
packet gets dropped during the next round of processing.

The userspace tunneling API for pushing and popping tunnel headers
is currently based on processing batches of packets. However, there
is no obvious way to take advantage of batching for these operations
and so each tunnel operation has a pair of loops to process the

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.

In most cases, tunnel ports specify a dpif name to act as the backing
port in the datapath. However, in the case of UDP tunnels the type is
used with the port number appended. This is potentially a problem for
IPsec tunnels because they have different types but should have the
same backing port. The hasn't been a problem in practice though because
no UDP tunnels are currently used with IPsec.
This switches to use the dpif_port in all cases plus a port number if
necessary. It does this by making the names short enough to accomodate
ports, which also makes the naming more consistent.

When the user changes port type (i.e. changing p0 from type 'internal' to
'gre'), the netdev must first be deleted, then re-created with the new type.
Deleting the netdev requires there exist no more references to the netdev.
However, the xlate cache holds references to netdevs and the cache is only
invalidated by revalidator threads. Thus, if cache is not invalidated prior to
the netdev being re-created, the netdev will not be able to be re-created and
the configuration change will fail.
This patch always removes the netdev from the global netdev shash when the
user changes port type. This ensures that the new netdev can always be created
while handler and revalidator threads can retain references to the old netdev
until they are finished.

Commit 3e912ffcbb (netdev: Add 'change_seq' back to netdev.) added per-
netdev change number for indicating status change. Future commits used
this change number to optimize the netdev status update to database.
However, the work also introduced the bug in the following scenario:
- assume interface eth0 has address 1.2.3.4, eth1 has adddress 10.0.0.1.
- assume tunnel port p1 is set with remote_ip=10.0.0.5.
- after setup, 'ovs-vsctl list interface p1 status' should show the
'tunnel_egress_iface="eth1"'.
- now if the address of eth1 is change to 0 via 'ifconfig eth1 0'.
- expectedly, after change, 'ovs-vsctl list interface p1 status' should
show the 'tunnel_egress_iface="eth0"'
However, 'tunnel_egress_iface' will not be updated on current master.
This is in that, the 'netdev-vport' module corresponding to p1 does
not react to routing related changes.
To fix the bug, this commit adds a change sequence number in the route-
table module and makes netdev-vport check the sequence number for
tunnel status update.
