[ovs-dev] [PATCH RFC 0/1] netdev-dpdk.c: add dpdk vhost-user ports

[Ciara Loftus]

This RFC patch makes use of the vhost-user implementation that will
be available in DPDK 2.0. Submitting as RFC as this implementation
depends on a stable version of DPDK 2.0 and following that, OVS
support for DPDK 2.0. As such, this patch can be considered experimental.

This patch builds on top of the vhost-cuse patch (v8) found here:
http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2015-March/052061.html
Apply this first.

Since DPDK 2.0 support is necessary for vhost-user, please use this patch
to enable compilation with 2.0:
http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2015-March/052022.html

Use DPDK commit 31ff0c6a45cfc729fd7003d887fcd2612c3aca6d and QEMU v2.2.0.
