Hi Daniele,

I plan to submit a new version of this soon. Would like your opinion if possible on the way to support for other DPDK devices as you suggested previously.
I think we should keep 'dpdk' ports limited to physical devices with associated PCI addresses. We could create a new port type ('dpdkvdev' maybe?) for the other devices like af_packet and eth_null. I would consider this port type as more 'experimental' (for a few reasons, mainly limited testing as mentioned above) and thus better to be kept separate.
These ports could be configured like so: ovs-vsctl set Interface vdevX options:dpdk-devargs=eth_null0
'dpdk-devargs' would be supplied to rte_eth_dev_attach().

Thanks,
Ciara
