Hi Ales,

Thanks for this new revision!

This misses a lrouter_use_common_zone() call.  We shouldn't use the
"common zone" for gw routers.

Now that we have the two explicit branches I realized that I find this
part a bit confusing.  Stateless NAT doesn't need any zone, we modify
the packet inline.  I think I'd rewrite this as:

if (stateless) {
    build_lrouter_in_unsnat_stateless_flow(...);
} else if (lrouter_use_common_zone(od)) {
    build_lrouter_in_unsnat_in_czone_flow(...);
} else {
    build_lrouter_in_unsnat_flow(lflows, od, nat, match, distributed,
                                 is_v6, l3dgw_port);
}

Similar comment about treating stateless rules separately as above for
in_unsnat.
