Widen TCP flags handling from 7 bits (uint8_t) to 12 bits (uint16_t).
The kernel interface remains at 8 bits, which makes no functional
difference now, as none of the higher bits is currently of interest
to the userspace.

Over the time datapath.c and flow.c has became pretty large files.
Following patch restructures functionality of component into three
different components:
flow.c: contains flow extract.
flow_netlink.c: netlink flow api.
flow_table.c: flow table api.
This patch restructures code without changing logic.

Rehashing in ovs-workqueue can cause ovs-mutex lock contentions
in case of heavy flow setups where both needs ovs-mutex. So by
moving rehashing to flow-setup we can eliminate contention.
This also simplify ovs locking and reduces dependence on
workqueue.

This patch adds support for rewriting SCTP src,dst ports similar to the
functionality already available for TCP/UDP.
Rewriting SCTP ports is expensive due to double-recalculation of the
SCTP checksums; this is performed to ensure that packets traversing OVS
with invalid checksums will continue to the destination with any
checksum corruption intact.

Add wildcarded flow support in kernel datapath.
Wildcarded flow can improve OVS flow set up performance by avoid sending
matching new flows to the user space program. The exact performance boost
will largely dependent on wildcarded flow hit rate.
In case all new flows hits wildcard flows, the flow set up rate is
within 5% of that of linux bridge module.
Pravin has made significant contributions to this patch. Including API
clean ups and bug fixes.

It is an error to try to change the type of a vport using the set
command. However, while we check that this is an error, we still
proceed to allocate memory which then gets freed immediately.
This stops processing after noticing the error, which does not
actually fix a bug but is more correct.

OVS locking was recently changed to have private OVS lock which
simplified overall locking. Therefore there is no need to have
another global genl lock to protect OVS data structures. Following
patch uses of parallel_ops genl family for OVS. This also allows
more granual OVS locking using ovs_mutex for protecting OVS data
structures, which gives more concurrencey. E.g multiple genl
operations OVS_PACKET_CMD_EXECUTE can run in parallel, etc.

The e{uid,gid} --> {uid,gid} credentials fix conflicted with the
cleanup in net-next to now pass cred structs around.
The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN
interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next.
An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was
reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that
code.
Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all
calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first
argument.
Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO
rewrite in 'net-next', mostly overlapping changes.
Thanks to Stephen Rothwell and Antonio Quartulli for help with several
of these merge resolutions.

Add a protocol argument to the VLAN packet tagging functions. In case of HW
tagging, we need that protocol available in the ndo_start_xmit functions,
so it is stored in a new field in the skb. The new field fits into a hole
(on 64 bit) and doesn't increase the sks's size.

Currently OVS uses combination of genl and rtnl lock to protect
datapath state. This was done due to networking stack locking.
But this has complicated locking and there are few lock ordering
issues with new tunneling protocols.
Following patch simplifies locking by introducing new ovs mutex
and now this lock is used to protect entire ovs state.
