Make sure the sw_flow_key structure and valid mask boundaries are always
machine word aligned. Optimize the flow compare and mask operations
using machine word size operations. This patch improves throughput on
average by 15% when CPU is the bottleneck of forwarding packets.

This patch is inspired by ideas and code from a patch submitted by Peter
Klausler titled "replace memcmp() with specialized comparator".
However, The original patch only optimizes for architectures
support unaligned machine word access. This patch optimizes for all
architectures.

This patch adds support for rewriting SCTP src,dst ports similar to the
functionality already available for TCP/UDP.

Rewriting SCTP ports is expensive due to double-recalculation of the
SCTP checksums; this is performed to ensure that packets traversing OVS
with invalid checksums will continue to the destination with any
checksum corruption intact.

Add wildcarded flow support in kernel datapath.

Wildcarded flow can improve OVS flow set up performance by avoid sending
matching new flows to the user space program. The exact performance boost
will largely dependent on wildcarded flow hit rate.

In case all new flows hits wildcard flows, the flow set up rate is
within 5% of that of linux bridge module.

Pravin has made significant contributions to this patch. Including API
clean ups and bug fixes.

The vlan encapsulation fields in the maximum flow defintion were
never updated when the representation changed before upstreaming.
In theory this could cause a kernel panic when a maximum length
flow is used.  In practice this has never happened (to my knowledge)
because skb allocations are padded out to a cache line so you would
need the right combination of flow and packet being sent to userspace.

Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
environments.  In addition to supporting a variety of features
expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network.
This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need
to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.

The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
forwarding.  It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
translate it into packet processing rules.

See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
utilities.
