The commit message could use more information on the high-level changes
in the patch. Some of it took me a while to figure out. Here's my
suggestion for text to add:
The configuration of individual tunnels is now a userspace
responsibility, so netdev-vport no longer marshals and unmarshals
Netlink attributes for tunnel configuration, instead only storing
the configuration internally.

There's something missing from that sentence. Perhaps add "with"
following "paired"?
Looking at the set_tunnel_config() change, the reason you didn't bother
breaking it up into parse-then-assemble-Netlink in an earlier patch is
obvious. Thanks.
port_construct() makes a call to VLOG_ERR passing a new-line terminated
string. Our usual style is to omit the new-line, although it makes no
actual difference. (You didn't originate this but I noticed it anyway.)
I found may_dpif_port_del() a little hard to read because of the two
different types, ofport and ofport_dpif, used unnecessarily in this
case. I think it's easier if you always use ofport_dpif, as in this
incremental:

return false;
}
}
Also may_dpif_port_del() could use a comment explaining what it's up to.
Did you consider reference-counting the backer ports instead of doing a
search per-port-destruction?
The change to ofproto_receive() dropped the comment
/* Let the caller know that we can't reproduce 'key' from 'flow'. */
if (fitness == ODP_FIT_PERFECT) {
fitness = ODP_FIT_TOO_MUCH;
}
but in fact it answered a question I asked myself when I reviewed the
new code.
Thanks,
Ben.
