The interface to the ovsrec_*_init() functions seems odd.  All of them
take a pointer to a generic row type and then internally cast it.  Why
don't they take the desired row type directly?  As far as I can see, all
of the callers actually have to go to extra trouble to get the
ovsdb_idl_row member:

vswitchd/bridge.c:        ovsrec_interface_init(&br->synth_local_iface.header_);
vswitchd/bridge.c:        ovsrec_port_init(&br->synth_local_port.header_);
vswitchd/bridge.c:    ovsrec_interface_init(&iface->header_);
vswitchd/bridge.c:    ovsrec_port_init(&iface->header_);

In ovsdb-idlc.in, this bit of the generated code looks wrong to me:
        SMAP_FOR_EACH (node, smap) {
            for (i = 0; i < datum.n; i++) {
                datum.keys[i].string = xstrdup(node->key);
                datum.values[i].string = xstrdup(node->value);
            }
        }
I'd expect something more like this?
        i = 0;
        SMAP_FOR_EACH (node, smap) {
            datum.keys[i].string = xstrdup(node->key);
            datum.values[i].string = xstrdup(node->value);
            i++;
        }

Around the same place,
        memset(&datum, 0, sizeof datum);
is probably better expressed as:
        ovsdb_datum_init_empty(&datum);

Can port_configure_stp() use smap_get_bool()?

In bridge_configure_remotes(), I think that the default for
disable_in_band (what a terrible name for an option) should be false,
not true.

synthesize_splinter_port() now has a call to ovsrec_port_init() and an
explicit call of smap_init(&port->other_config).  Doesn't the former
keep the latter from being necessary?
