[ovs-dev] [kill-dp_port 0/3] Get rid of dp_port/vport distinction

[Ben Pfaff]

I'm working on changing the kernel interface over to use Netlink
instead of a character device, since Netlink is the modern way
to configure the Linux networking stack.  I started by studying
why some bits of the configuration are the way that they are.
I concluded that there wasn't a good reason to have dp_port and
vport be different, so this series merges them into a single
data structure (the vport).

This will presumably be a prerequisite for the series that converts
the kernel to use Netlink, which isn't ready yet.
