In order to work with Geneve options, we need to maintain a mapping
table between an option (defined by <class, type, length>) and
an NXM field that can be operated on for the purposes of matches,
actions, etc. This mapping must be explicitly specified by the
user.
Conceptually, this table could be communicated using either OpenFlow
or OVSDB. Using OVSDB requires less code and definition of extensions
than OpenFlow but introduces the possibility that mapping table
updates and flow modifications are desynchronized from each other.
This is dangerous because the mapping table signifcantly impacts the
way that flows using Geneve options are installed and processed by
OVS. Therefore, the mapping table is maintained using OpenFlow commands
instead, which opens the possibility of using synchronization between
table changes and flow modifications through barriers, bundles, etc.
There are two primary groups of OpenFlow messages that are introduced
as Nicira extensions: modification commands (add, delete, clear mappings)
and table status request/reply to dump the current table along with switch
information.
Note that mappings should not be changed while they are in active use by
a flow. The result of doing so is undefined.
This only adds the OpenFlow infrastructure but doesn't actually
do anything with the information yet after the messages have been
decoded.

* address is removed from IGMPv3 if record is INCLUDE_MODE;

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.

This adds support for Geneve - Generic Network Virtualization
Encapsulation. The protocol is documented at
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gross-geneve-00
The kernel implementation is completely agnostic to the options
that are in use and can handle newly defined options without
further work. It does this by simply matching on a byte array
of options and allowing userspace to setup flows on this array.
Userspace currently implements only support for basic version of
Geneve. It can work with the base header (including the VNI) and
is capable of parsing options but does not currently support any
particular option definitions. Over time, the intention is to
allow options to be matched through OpenFlow without requiring
explicit support in OVS userspace.

miniflow_extract() extracts packet headers directly to a miniflow,
which is a compressed form of the struct flow. This does not require
a large struct to be cleared to begin with, and accesses less memory.
These performance benefits should allow this to be used in the DPDK
datapath.
miniflow_extract() takes a miniflow as an input/output parameter. On
input the buffer for values to be extracted must be properly
initialized. On output the map contains ones for all the fields that
have been extracted.
Some struct flow fields are reordered to make miniflow_extract to
progress in the logical order.
Some explicit "inline" keywords are necessary for GCC to optimize this
properly. Also, macros are used for same reason instead of inline
functions for pushing data to the miniflow.

ICMPv4 and ICMPv6 have 8-bit "type" and "code" fields. struct flow
uses the low 8 bits of the 16-bit tp_src and tp_dst members to
represent these fields. The datapath interface, on the other hand,
represents them with just 8 bits each. This means that if the high 8
bits of the masks for these fields somehow become set (meaning to
match on the nonexistent "high bits" of these fields) during
translation, then they will get chopped off by a round trip through
the datapath, and revalidation will spot that as an inconsistency and
delete the flow. This commit avoids the problem by making sure that
only the low 8 bits of either field can be unwildcarded for ICMP.
This seems like the minimal fix for this problem, appropriate for
backporting to earlier branches. The root of the issue is that these high
bits can get set in the match at all. I have some leads on that, but they
require more invasive changes elsewhere.

Ethernet headers are 14 bytes long, so when the beginning of such a header
is 32-bit aligned, the following data is misaligned. The usual trick to
fix that is to start the Ethernet header on an odd-numbered 16-bit
boundary. That trick works OK for Open vSwitch, but there are two
problems:
- OVS doesn't use that trick everywhere. Maybe it should, but it's
difficult to make sure that it does consistently because the CPUs
most commonly used with OVS don't care about misalignment, so we
only find problems when porting.
- Some protocols (GRE, VXLAN) don't use that trick, so in such a case
one can properly align the inner or outer L3/L4/L7 but not both. (OVS
userspace doesn't directly deal with such protocols yet, so this is
just future-proofing.)
- OpenFlow uses the alignment trick in a few places but not all of them.
This commit starts the adoption of what I hope will be a more robust way
to avoid misalignment problems and the resulting bus errors on RISC
architectures. Instead of trying to ensure that 32-bit quantities are
always aligned, we always read them as if they were misaligned. To ensure
that they are read this way, we change their types from 32-bit types to
pairs of 16-bit types. (I don't know of any protocols that offset the
next header by an odd number of bytes, so a 16-bit alignment assumption
seems OK.)
The same would be necessary for 64-bit types in protocol headers, but we
don't yet have any protocol definitions with 64-bit types.
IPv6 protocol headers need the same treatment, but for those we rely on
structs provided by system headers, so I'll leave them for an upcoming
patch.

The current situation is that whenever any packet enters the
userspace, bfd_should_process_flow() looks at the UDP destination
port to figure out whether that is a BFD packet. This means that
UDP destination port cannot be wildcarded for all the other flows
too.
To optimize BFD for megaflows, we introduce a new
'bfd:bfd_dst_mac' field in the database. Whenever this field is set
by a controller, it is assumed that all the BFD packets to/from
this interface will have the destination mac address set as the one
specified in the bfd:bfd_dst_mac field. If this field is set, we
first look at the destination mac address of a packet and if it
does not match the mac address set in bfd:bfd_dst_mac, we do not
process that packet as bfd. If the field does match, we go ahead
and look at the UDP destination port too.
Also, change the default BFD destination mac address to
"00:23:20:00:00:01".

* Poping a single MPLS label
* Modifying an MPLS lable using set-field or load actions
that act on the label value, tc and bos bit.
* There is no support for manipulating the TTL
this is considered future work.
The single-level push pop limitation is implemented by processing
push, pop and set-field/load actions in order and discarding information
that would require multiple levels of push/pop to be supported.
e.g.
push,push -> the first push is discarded
pop,pop -> the first pop is discarded
