Where/how are user actions translated to actions that kernel understands?
Looking at datapath/actions.c, it seems the kernel only understands
OVS_ACTION_ATTR_* from netlink messages.
At the userside it seems that ofproto-dpif-xlate.c:xlate_actions__()
looks for the rule by calling rule_dpif_lookup, and fills actions in ctx
variable. But I cannot find where actions of the rule are extracted and
converted to those that kernel understands.
Is this ofp-actions.c:ofpacts_execute_action_set() or
ofproto-dpif-xlate.c:compose_output_action ()?
