Subject: [ovs-dev] [PATCH] ofproto-dpif: Mark packets as "untracked" after	call to ct().

    Packet and Connection state is only available to the processing path
    that follows the "recirc_table" argument of the ct() action.  The
    previous behavior made these states available until the end of the
    pipeline.  This commit changes the behavior so that the Packet and
    Connection state are cleared for the current processing path whenever
    ct() is called (in addition to reaching the end of the pipeline.)
    
    A future commit will remove the behavior that a "send to controller"
    action causes all packets for that flow to be handled via the slow-path.
    The current behavior of connection tracking state makes that difficult
    due to datapath actions containing multiple OpenFlow rules that may
    contain different connection tracking states.  This change will make
    that future commit possible.
