[ovs-dev] [RFC PATCH 00/10] set_field action support as preliminary OF12

[Isaku Yamahata]

Hi. This patch series is based on Simon's patch series.

This patch is preliminary to support set_field action.
Although it is only compile tested, I'd like to hear if this is the right
direction before going further.

Once this is done, I'd like to add instruction support next.
For that, introduce OFPACT_IT_xxx and teach struct action_xlate_ctx and
do_xlate_actions() instructions. Is this the dirction to go? Or other way?

My plan is
- compete this (if this direction is ok)
- integrate this patch series into Simon's series.
- instruction support
- integrate Ravi's MPLS/VLAN patch

The code is available at (This includes rebased Ravi's patches)
