vtep: Use unicast MAC as an example for a unicast destination in README.

Until now, the example for a unicast MAC has been a multicast MAC.

dpif-netdev: Fix a race.

On current master, the 'struct dp_netdev_port' is destroyed
immediately when the ref count reaches 0.  However, non-pmd
threads calling the dpif_netdev_execute() for sending packets
could hold pointer to 'port' that is not ref-counted.  Thusly
those threads could possibly access freed memory when the port
is deleted.

To fix this bug, this commit makes non-pmd threads acquiring
the 'port_mutex' before doing the actual execution in
dpif_netdev_execute().

datapath: Use ccflags-y instead of deprecated EXTRA_CFLAGS

This allows users to pass in additional compiler flags through the
environment variable EXTRA_CFLAGS, e.g.

   make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-Wno-error=foo V=1

route-table: Remove Unregister.

Since dpif registering for routing table at initialization
there is no need to unregister it. Following patch removes
support for turning routing table notifications on and off.
Due to this change OVS always listens for these
notifications.

dist-docs: New utility to generate a documentation bundle for the website.

This utility isn't going to be as portable as most of the Open vSwitch
utilities, unfortunately.  I'm happy to take improvements to make it
able to work with, e.g., the "man" program from BSD.  (I haven't tested
with that program, but I suspect that it is somewhat different from the
GNU version.)

The output of this program can already be viewed at:

dpif: Don't clear argument in dp_enumerate_types().

All but one of the callers of dp_enumerate_types() hands it an sset that is
known to be empty.  The one exception is the implementation of the
ofproto-provider 'enumerate_types' function in ofproto-dpif.  That function
isn't supposed to clear the existing contents of the sset passed in.
Therefore, this commit changes dp_enumerate_types() to not clear the sset
before it adds new members.

The ofproto-provider comment wasn't clear about the desired behavior so
this commit also clarifies that.

classifier: Silence sparse warning (sparse bug)

This silences the following sparse warning which appears to be a bug
in sparse:

	lib/classifier-private.h:210:45: warning: call with no type!
	lib/classifier-private.h:179:45: warning: call with no type!

Can be reverted when sparse has been fixed.

datapath: Add UFID interface to openvswitch.h.

An upcoming set of patches will implement support for indexing flows by
Unique Flow IDentifiers (UFID) rather than the traditional unmasked key.
This patch implements the interface changes required. The implementation
will follow.

dpif: Index flows using unique identifiers.

This patch modifies the dpif interface to allow flows to be manipulated
using a 128-bit identifier. This allows revalidator threads to perform
datapath operations faster, as they do not need to serialise the entire
flow key for operations like flow_get and flow_delete. In conjunction
with a future patch to simplify the dump interface, this provides a
significant performance benefit for revalidation.

When handlers assemble flow_put operations, they specify a unique
identifier (UFID) for each flow as it is passed down to the datapath to
be stored with the flow. The UFID is currently provided to handlers
by the dpif during upcall processing.

When revalidators assemble flow_get or flow_del operations, they may
specify the UFID for the flow along with the key. The dpif will decide
whether to send only the UFID to the datapath, or both the UFID and flow
key. The former is preferred for newer datapaths that support UFID,
while the latter is used for backwards compatibility.

dpif: Minimize memory copy for revalidation.

One of the limiting factors on the number of flows that can be supported
in the datapath is the overhead of assembling flow dump messages in the
datapath. This patch modifies the dpif to allow revalidators to skip
dumping the key, mask and actions from the datapath, by making use of
the unique flow identifiers introduced in earlier patches.

For each flow dump, the dpif user specifies whether to skip these
attributes, allowing the common case to only dump a pair of 128-bit ID
and flow stats. With datapath support, this increases the number of
flows that a revalidator can handle per second by 50% or more. Support
in dpif-netdev and dpif-netlink is added in this patch; kernel support
is left for future patches.
