2013-08-23openvswitch: Mega flow implementationAndy Zhou
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.
