Hi Chris,

Just a quick update, I did see your responses to v14 and I also noticed you 
send out a v15. I planned to review it this week, but due to some other 
unforeseen stuff, I have to move it to next week (if nothing more is going to 
mess up my plan ;)

Cheers,

Eelco

This patch set adds offload support for sFlow.

Psample is a genetlink channel for packet sampling. TC action act_sample
uses psample to send sampled packets to userspace.

When offloading sample action to TC, userspace creates a unique ID to
map sFlow action and tunnel info and passes this ID to kernel instead
of the sFlow info. psample will send this ID and sampled packet to
userspace. Using the ID, userspace can recover the sFlow info and send
sampled packet to the right sFlow monitoring host.

- Fix robot errors.
v3-v2:
- Remove Gerrit Change-Id.
- Add patch #9 to fix older kernels build issue.
- Add travis test result.

- Fix offload issue when sampling rate is 1.
v5-v4:
- Move polling thread from ofproto to netdev-offload-tc.
v6-v5:
- Rebase.

v13-v12
- Remove the psample poll thread from netdev-offload-tc and reuse
   ofproto handler thread according to Ilya's new desgin.
