[ovs-dev] plan to integrate Hyper-V support

[Alin Serdean]

We have pushed in the changes we made upon our repository:
https://github.com/cloudbase/openvswitch-hyperv-kernel.git

This conspicuous update includes:

* Rebased on the the tip of master.
* Functionality to take into account the NETLINK padding.
* Hashing (SpookyHash) to improve performance over previous linear searches. 
* Some heavy refactoring to make the code more readable.
* Packet fragmentation fixes
* DirectIO performance improvements in place of the previous buffer copying

Kind Regards,
Alin.

Hi Nithin,

I'd also add at least:

1) Design for mapping hyper-v ports to OVS ports
2) CI testing plans
3) Roadmap

Thanks,

Alessandro
