Hi Ben,

these patches are based on your of1.1 git branch
(21602cd6bdf056d24b2c6191d636bebcbb336ad9 "ofp-util: Work on decoding OF1.1
flow_mods.")

Briefly, the series seems to be coming along nicely. And although
it is not ready to merge as a whole it is progressing nicely. I have
now moved from adding code to fixing it, and I think that the end may
almost be in sight.


Many of the patches are compile-tested only, however I have begun testing
the code and a number of the messages actually seem to work :)

So far I have pursued three different avenue's of testing:

* Using ovs-controller as the controller for ovs-vswitchd.
  - This appears to work.
* Using ryu as the controller for ovs-vswitchd.
  - This also appears to work :)
  - 
* Using the dump-* targets of ovs-ofctl
  - dump-desc, dump-flows and dump-aggregate work
  - I have a local, very unclean patch to make dump-tables work
  - I am working on the rest, I assume they are all currently broken.

The key changes since the last posting (v3) are

* Bug fixes to allow ovs-ofctl's dump-desc, dump-flows and dump-aggregate
  subcommands to work.
* Adding infrastructure to make message creation work for
  any Open Flow version. In particular put_openflow_xid(),
  put_stats*__() and their callers.

All changes are noted in the per-patch changelogs.

I have made my patches available in the (rebased) devel/of12 branch of
git://github.com/horms/openvswitch.git. The current head is
6c68f9a1f4be3ce0c8cf81201dabd257bbcd07f4.
