Address three problems using three corresponding features in
DPDK, which have been around for a year and are now stable:
1) The need to make sure that metadata generated by flow
rule execution be delivered from NIC to application;
2) Replacing PORT_ID action with REPRESENTED_PORT;
3) Potential need to manage "transfer" flows
via a privileged ("transfer proxy") port.
