Subject: [RFC: add openvswitch actions using BPF 0/2]

Joe and I have been experimenting with BPF and its application for OVS.
This patch shows our attempt to implement ovs actions using eBPF.

The kernel changes are against the 'net-next'. The corresponding
user space changes will be post next.

This patch set implements an BPF action, that has the same interface
as current OVS output action. Instead of sending out a packet, it
only generates a kernel message.

This feature is neither complete nor useful as is.  We are mostly
interested in comments on: The infrastructure changes to support
and running BPF functions, and suggestions on extensions beyond
those patches.

  BPF: add a new BPF program type BPF_PROG_TYPE_OPENVSWITCH
  openvswitch: implements the BPF_PROG action in datapath
