Applied.

I noticed that there was no NEWS entry.  I didn't want to delay this
through another round of review, so I wrote this one myself:

post-v1.11.0
---------------------
    - OpenFlow:
      * New support for matching outer source and destination IP address
        of tunneled packets, for tunnel ports configured with the newly
	added "remote_ip=flow" and "local_ip=flow" options.

Feel free to send improvements if you have some.
