When using openvswitch in combination with a hardware switch attached via dsa it may be desirable to prevent frames from being looped back to interfaces which reside on the same switch and are already processed by the switching fabric in hardware. This patch series achieves this by introducing a new parameter port_group to be used by the normal action. When the port_group is not set explicitly, it defaults to the ofp number. Ports which are in the same group will not forward a frame between each other.
