[ovs-dev] [PATCH 1/2] datapath: Add pre_tunnel support

Add support to the tunneling code for a "pre_tunnel"
function. This allows the tunneling code to perform
operations on the packet before the outer IP header is
added.

A tunneling protocol such as LISP may require this, as it needs
to remove the MAC header before applying the LISP header.
