-Commit f4b96c92c "vswitch: Disallow bridges named "dpN" or "nl:N"" disabled
-naming bridges "dpN" because the vswitchd code made the bad assumption that
-the bridge's local port has the same name as the bridge, which was not
-true (at the time) for bridges named dpN. Now that assumption has been
-eliminated, so this commit eliminates the restriction too.
-
-This change is also a cleanup in that it eliminates one form of the
-vswitch's dependence on specifics of the dpif implementation.
