Hi Kyle,

Things are continuing to move along and I think that most of the major
infrastructure pieces are either complete or coming along nicely.  One area
that might make sense for you to work on is the VXLAN dataplane support.  I
know that you've been maintaining Ben's patch out of tree so hopefully
there isn't too much that needs to be done.  In the past I was reluctant to
apply it on it's own but I think now that everything else is coming
together it makes sense.

A couple things that come to mind that you might want to look into:
 * Any updates to apply against master (it's looks pretty current but I'm
guessing that the recent header caching changes will require some updates).
 * I think we probably want to make the destination port configurable as
part of the port properties from the database.  Fixing it in the kernel
seems a little restrictive.
 * It probably makes sense to use the skb rxhash and the ephemeral port
range to generate the source port as it is more similar to upstream.

Thanks,
Jesse
