Hi Ilya, Ivan, all,

I checked with the team at Corigine.

They don't see any problem with updating the NFP PMD to use
REPRESENTED_PORT instead of PORT_ID. And I think we can assume that work
will happen in a timely manner. But there is a question about how to make
the transition.

My understanding is that from a Corigine perspective, it would be best if
OvS could add support for REPRESENTED_PORT and then later remove support
for PORT_ID.
