Currently, configuration of DPDK parameters is done via the command line through a --dpdk **OPTIONS** -- command line argument. This has a number of challenges, including: * It must be the first option passed to ovs-vswitchd * It breaks from the way most other things are configured in OVS * It doesn't allow an easy way to populate defaults
This is an RFC series to get feedback, and attempt to steer the direction of the final approach. It has only been smoke-tested, no actual DPDK ports were added to the running vswitchd.
