[ovs-dev] [PATCH 1/2] dpif-netdev: Purge all ukeys when reconfigure pmd.

Ok, but why don't just put dp->dp_purge_cb(dp->dp_purge_aux) right after
dp_netdev_destroy_all_pmds(dp) in dpif_netdev_pmd_set() ? In that case,
disabling of upcalls will not be necessary.

P.S. The second letter of my name is 'L'.
