Hi Paul,

thanks for this very interesting work. I hope we can see offload support
present in OvS in the not too distant future.

Looking over the patches I have a few high-level comments:

* Please run the code through ./utilities/checkpatch.py
* Please consider referring to flower or tc-flower instead of tc.
  I think its somewhat misleading to claim this is TC in general in
  its current form. (I think someone else raised this offline but you were
  not present)
* Am I right in thinking that the current implementation only allows
  offloading flows that output to one port? If so I'd like to hear your
  thoughts on how that restriction might be lifted.
