An RFC to get back early feedback on exposing Linux's kernel connection
tracker to OVS.  The code has a few rough spots that will be addressed
in the next version:

    - Need better interface than setting individual flags for the state.
    - Need support for IP frags.
    - Need support for zones.
    - Should have ability to match on "invalid" connection states.
    - Should only allow conntrack() if conn_state is 0x00 to prevent loops.

I'd be interested in hearing back suggestion on improvements other than
those mentioned above.

Here's a simple example flow table to allow outbound TCP traffic from
port 1; drop traffic from port 2 that was not initiated by port 1:

ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 \
    "in_port=1,conn_state=0x00/0x80,tcp,action=conntrack(zone=0),normal"
ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 \
    "in_port=2,conn_state=0x00/0x80,tcp,action=conntrack(flags=1,zone=0)"
ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 in_port=2,conn_state=0x82/0x83,tcp,action=1
ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 in_port=2,conn_state=0x81/0x83,tcp,action=drop
ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 priority=10,action=normal
