This series implements support for layer 3 ports, of which we have one example so far, the LISP vport. LISP support is currently implemented with a hack, by adding/removing the Ethernet header within the datapath/vport-lisp.c file. By removing the assumption that all packets/flows have Ethernet header, this series adds generic support for layer 3 ports in OVS, and thus it is expected that the user/kernel space API for LISP support will not change. This will allow the upstreaming of the LISP vport, resulting in a decreased the delta against the Linux kernel module,which is the goal that started this work.
These patches are not finished yet, in particular several unit tests are failing. I would start fixing the causes behind the failing tests, but I prefer to invest time on that only if you think the general direction I took is OK, espcially the new 'struct flow' member 'noeth;, and the fact that flow_extract() now won't accept a 'struct ofpbuf' without either 'l2' or 'l3' being set.
