I'm a little worried that this introduces some quirks to the interface. Such as:

This requires that DP_CMD_SET supply an OVS_DP_ATTR_UPCALL_PID
although I don't think that it's really necessary. In fact, we used to
completely ignore that field on SET since it's really only useful on
datapath creation and can otherwise be done more naturally through the
vport interface.

Conversely, this won't respect the UPCALL_PID field, which I would
expect it to since I think NLM_F_REPLACE should be roughly equivalent
to a delete and create. I believe that's the only field that is
missing although it seems easy to have the same problem as others are
added in the future.
