wdp.  Wow.  The last commit to that branch was almost 4 years ago, and
that was only for a merge and a couple of bug fixes; the bulk of the
code was written about 5 years ago.  So this question is something like
"I've got a driver for Linux 2.6.34, do you have a porting guide to get
it up to 3.19?"

The simple answer is "no".  The slightly longer answer is that the new
ofproto interface does more work in common code, so probably a good
place to start is by deleting code from the wdp implementation that is
no longer needed.
