Since all vport types are now backed by netdev, we can directly
use netdev stats. Following patch removes redundant stat
from vport.

This readds the config option CONFIG_OPENVSWITCH_VXLAN to avoid a
hard dependency of OVS on VXLAN. It moves the VXLAN config compat
code to vport-vxlan.c and allows compliation as a module.

This is the first step in representing all OVS vports as regular
struct net_devices. Move the net_device pointer into the vport
structure itself to get rid of struct vport_netdev.

The internal and netdev vport remain part of openvswitch.ko. Encap
vports including vxlan, gre, and geneve can be built as separate
modules and are loaded on demand. Modules can be unloaded after use.
Datapath ports keep a reference to the vport module during their
lifetime.
Allows to remove the error prone maintenance of the global list
vport_ops_list.

it is neither used nor implemented any more.

Currently, each time a device is detached from an OVS datapath
we call synchronize RCU before freeing associated data structures.
However, if a bridge is deleted (which detaches all ports) when
many devices are connected then there can be a long delay. This
switches to use call_rcu() to group the cost together.

Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features
expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network.
This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need
to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.
The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
translate it into packet processing rules.
See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
utilities.
