The motivation of this series is to allow some sequences of actions
that include MPLS actions to be performed using recirculation.
Sequences of actions that could not previously be handled.
For example pop_mpls:0x0800,dec_ttl.
This uses recirculation after the pop_mpls action to allow access to L3
information of the inner packet which is used by the dec_ttl action.
Key changes between v3 and v4
* Drop patches that add execution in userspace to allow recirculation
when the in_port is not present in the datapath. This is a deeper
problem than I thought and is being discussed separately.
Key changes between v2 and v3
* Drop support for patch ports
* Rework support for packet out
- Broken out into separate patches which start by
adding infrastructure and using it for recirculation for bonding
Key changes between v1 and v2
* Support for: packet_out and patch ports
* More tests
Unlike previous versions of this patch-set this version has no pre-requisites.
