The concept seems OK to me here.  I have only a few minor comments.

Some of the above definitions use all spaces, others use tabs.  It's
OVS userspace code so it's better to use all spaces, I think.

I just noticed that we re-read this pidfile every time we parse an
IPsec tunnel.  I guess that would be a big waste of time if we have a
lot of IPsec tunnels.  I'll make a note to consider fixing this
separately (it's not your problem).
