This seems like a general issue with the way we print messages.  For example:

    OFPT_FEATURES_REPLY (xid=0x1): dpid:0000505400000001
    n_tables:2, n_buffers:256
    capabilities: FLOW_STATS TABLE_STATS PORT_STATS ARP_MATCH_IP

Do you think we should just always start the body on a separate line?  
Obviously, this would be disruptive to scripts that expect a certain format.  
Alternatively, I can just add a newline in ofp_print_ofpst_port_desc_reply() 
before calling ofp_print_phy_ports().

I realized that I didn't add a NEWS items, so I'm planning to add the following:
