This commit relaxes the assumption that all packets have an Ethernet
header, and adds support for layer 3 flows. For each packet received on
the Linux kernel datapath the l2 and l3 members of struct ofpbuf are
intialized appropriately, and some functions now expect this (notably
flow_extract()), in order to differentiate between layer 2 and layer 3
packets. struct flow has now a new 'base_layer' member, because we
cannot assume that a flow has no Ethernet header when eth_src and
eth_dst are 0. For layer 3 packets, the protocol type is still stored
in the eth_type member.
Switching L2->L3 and L3->L2 are both implemented by adding the pop_eth
and push_eth actions respectively when a transition is detected. The
push_eth action puts 0s on both source and destination MACs. These
addresses can be modified with mod_dl_dst and mod_dl_src actions.
Added new prerequisite MFP_ETHERNET for fields MFF_ETH_SRC, MFF_ETH_DST,
MFF_VLAN_TCI, MFF_DL_VLAN, MFF_VLAN_VID and MFF_DL_VLAN_PCP.

This needs an update because FLOW_WC_SEQ has been changed in the
meantime. Assuming that gets done correctly:

Yeap, it's already in my l3_v7 working tree, will be in the v7 update.
Thanks for reviewing.
