Hi Jiri,

As I indicated before I'm looking into integrating this with some
hardware here. Progress is a bit slow but starting to look at it.The
i40e/ixgbe driver being one open source example with very limited
support for tables, flow matches, etc. And then a closed source driver
with much more flexibility. What I don't have is a middle of the road
switch to work with something better then a host nic but not as
flexible as a TOR.

Couple questions my assumption here is I can extend the flow_key
as needed to support additional match criteria my hardware has.
I scanned the ./net/openvswitch source and I didn't catch any
place that would break but might need to take a closer look.
Similarly the actions set will need to be extended. For example
if I want to use this with i40e a OVS_ACTION_ATTR_QUEUE could
be used to steer packets to the queue. With this in mind we
will want a follow up patch to rename OVS_ACTION_ATTR_* to
FLOW_ACTION_ATTR_*

Also I have some filters that can match on offset/length/mask
tuples. As far as I can tell this is going to have to be yet
another interface? Or would it be worth the effort to define
the flow key more generically. My initial guess is I'll just
write a separate interface. I think this is what Jamal referred
to as another "classifier".

Thanks,
John
