[Sugesh] Should we handle the vport down in the datapath?
>From the control path its just need to mention only about the
Ipsec tunnel. When its handled in the datapath, it will translate into
vdev implicitly. It looks to me this shouldn't here. May be 
will get good picture when I see the following patches.
